You can add multiple e-mails both to gerrit [0] and github [1]. As long as the e-mail address you are making commits with is added to both accounts, you can likely use your preexisting software directly on the mirrored github repos[2]. For example, my contributions to the citoid repo, all of which were made on gerrit, are also automatically* associated with my github account [3]. You could add a throwaway email to both both gerrit and github and set this as your git email [4] and then your e-mail will not be publicly exposed anywhere. In both gerrit and github, the email you set as your email in git is visible in your commits, as this is a property of git itself, not of gerrit/github in particular.
*Because these are mirrored repositories, contestants *must star the mirrored repository on github* [5] in order to have it associated with their github account, because they didn't open the pull request directly on github. This is the main issue as I see it, as it is an extra step and people are fundamentally bad at following rules :D.
