Understood and thanks for the clarification Thierry ... just a developer scratching an itch.
Although it could be argued that it was a bit of a bait-n-switch on our ultimate github usage and the suitability of Gerrit. But as you say, let's wait for the guys to respond.

Please wait for their reply, which should come soon. Not judging on the merits of that particular option, as a PPB member, I just would like to stress that we voted on having a single set of tools for core projects, so each project is not really free to choose its code review tool. The codehosting/codereview set of tools that was recently chosen is git/github/Gerrit... Glance and Keystone are already migrated, and Swift, Nova and Dashboard are scheduled for migration. So your alternative appears to be a bit late. Though we haven't formally voted on that, I think it's also general PPB feeling that we shouldn't change systems every 6 months (or every 2 months) just because "something cooler" exists. Switching systems might not be costly for you, but it's definitely costly for others (the openstack-ci team obviously, but also release management) -- and we should all have better use of our limited time.
