It seems like there is overwhelming support for enabling the github integration, so I went ahead and filed the infra ticket <https://issues.apache.org/jira/servicedesk/agent/INFRA/issue/INFRA-10690>.
This is explicitly not changing the way that we commit on Hadoop and commits should be squashed and rebased rather than merged on to the master branch. If you want to close a pull request with a commit, just add a line at the end of the commit message that says: closes apache/hadoop#123 If someone else wants to setup gerrit, we can evaluate it. However, I am skeptical that it would be so much better than Github that it would be worth making people learn a new tool. Thanks, Owen
