I guess the whole idea of using GitHub is for public relation and to attract new people. Then, if a developer is not willing to learn Gerrit, its code is probably not worth the effort of us integrating github/gerrit. That will just add some more poor quality code to your review queues.
This a hundred times. I manage a few (small) open-source projects at GitHub, and most of the patches I get are not even up to my standards (and those are significantly lower than WMF's ones).
Submitting a patch to gerrit and even fixing it after code review is not that hard. (Of course any more complicated operations like rebasing do suck, but you hopefully won't be doing that with your first patch.)
