Authentication is used only to ensure they don't claim somebody else's
submissions (say, Gerrit Patch Uploader's :) ). Yes, this could
probably be detected manually, but we're trying to go with an
automated workflow where manual interventions are at a minimum.

I'm simply trying to make it easy for the users. In the current
version of the tool, they login with the github account and the rest
happens "magically": the tool retrieves their pull requests and scores
them according to a predefined set of criteria - no need for user
input of any kind. I just want the same workflow for patches submitted
to gerrit and I needed a way to authenticate the users and match the
information I have from the OAuth endpoint with reviews from gerrit.
