I wonder if Google really loves Gerrit, or if it’s just a legacy NIH attachment and some of Google’s graybeards just refuse to let it go.

Having worked with Gerrit in the past, I can say without a shadow of a doubt, it’s an abomination and I’d lop off a limb rather than voluntarily use Gerrit again.

Do you really think Google can really put their whole development and review infrastructure into the hands of a relatively small company named GitHub?

The same platform where you see "GitHub is down" on HN every couple of months?

Because Google's internal and external services don't go down?

Ever tried GAE?

Well, Apple has done a lot of it with Swift. Language evolution discussions and the code itself is on GH.
