I can make a meeting on 10/6, but will be on my way back from Disney :) So, previously, I had my Github location as my primary spot, which worked great for trying to build up a community. It was easier than the current private Gerrit arrangement. But it also has a downside. After discussion with the other TSC members, I changed the flow up and I made the Gerrit.opnfv.org repo the primary and then made the Github location the mirror.
These are things I had to deal with: 1) Create a robot to update the mirror as Gerrit changes. This was also built into my build script. But a robot kinda has to be in place to keep the two locations in sync. 2) The problem on the Github side is that there's no real place to tie into the Gerrit workflow. So I made a quarantine area for people to upload a directory structure and some code for us to verify and test. This made it easy to accept contributions in the mirror. But it ensure they were going to be out of sync with Gerrit. By the way, all additions are out of sync with Gerrit unless you're on the review. So I don't see why this is new for the committers. 3) Since the same code has to be reviewed by the same reviewers, really the only extra step is to get the code then from the Github side to the appropriate Gerrit folder location. This would have to be done by either a committer or contributor with Gerrit access. If done by a committer, it could be done with a +2 if the code had already been reviewed on the Github side. 4) Downsides of the process is that while the outside contributor can be viewed as the contributor in the original Github side of things and even in the copyrights, he/she won't show in the statistics because the final commit will have to be someone with access to the project in Gerrit. Then again, let's not forget that someone on the outside can easily obtain Gerrit access. They don't need to be a member. One of us in the community could easily walk them through stuff to be added. This is merely to ensure the directories and the community is broadly viewable by the outside world, so that we can get them to help us, or to at least use what we've developed. And that's key. At the end of the day, we also want our code re-used. I hope this helps some.
