I do think Launchpad is a mature alternative since there are big successful 
story such like Ubuntu and Openstack :)
OpenStack has already use it for years, and seems everyone happy with it, I am 
also happy with it, but I am not familiar with jira so I cannot do a 
comparison. 

Is there any estimate date or plan for when we will introduce these stuff?

We had a discussion during CDS about this.  The general output of that seems to 
be:

- gerrit workflow has a lot of good things
- gerrit treatment of individual commits vs branches is very unpleasant
- jenkins + gerrit integration is good
- we want build + smoke tests to run automatically prior to merge

- github pull requests are a decent alternative to gerrit if we
  - have build and smoke test output added as comments on teh request
    via the github apis
  - have jenkins running tests on pull requests via the plugin api

The bug tracker vs blueprint discussion also came up.  We are strongly 
considering a switch to jira (+ greenhopper etc) which has an integrated 
blueprint function and much better scrum stuff.

I haven't used launchpad much.  Is that a viable alternative?
