Yes, that's also a possibility, although it wouldn't be my first choice, for what that's worth. The Github PR interface is pretty minimal, in my experience. Gerrit is noisy and obtuse but it is pretty powerful. Also, we do make use of Gerrit's integration with Jenkins for launching test runs on code reviews. Certainly that could all be rewritten to work with Github PRs (or Review Board, or...), but that seems like a pretty high price to pay if we don't need to.
