It's true that Gerrit's workflow is a bit unusual, but even though I had no experience with it, I managed to setup the environment and create a review request for Golang in under an hour. When it comes to contributing to a programming language, I think this is pretty friction-less.

CLA was very painless too.

An hour is pretty bad don't you think? Pretty sure it would be quicker with github.

Sure it would be. Mostly because I use Github every day. The first time I tried to create a pull request it probably took me almost as much time to figure out how Github works.

But compared how much time is saved for reviewers by having a better tool, I think 1 hour for each new contributor is reasonable.
