Should we re-start the "lets migrate to github" discussion?
No.
To be fair, though I understand the arguments against using github (though accepting pull requests from it is a must!), I always had the impression that other options weren't given enough attention during that discussion. Particularly GitLab looked very usable, could be used for self-hosting, etc., and never even got much content in the "case against" section (only two items, both currently marked as "no longer true"). I am not entirely sure why it was discarded so promptly in favor of the admittedly powerful, but clearly problematic/controversial Gerrit. Are there strong reasons do dismiss it that weren't stated in that page?
Let's please not start the giant flamewar of solutions again. We went through a fairly long and fairly difficult process just to continue using Gerrit. If you feel strongly about this, I'll create a project in Labs, and you can prove that it's worth switching to. Remember to use the evaluation process we already went through < http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/Gerrit_evaluation#Criteria_by_which_to_jud... and also consider there's probably a giant list of things that we've added into Gerrit since then.
Remember that if something uses about 100 ruby gems that ops will want to skin you alive, even if it's a superior solution.
