Honestly, this is a thing we can do regardless of which tool we use.

There are other tools that integrate with Github more closely that Anton
was looking at, but I think none of them had the functionality we needed
(which both Phab and Gerrit do).

The main problem with that (Go) solution is that the Gerrit install doesn't
single-sign-on with Github accounts, it asked me for my Google account. We
shouldn't ask people to create more accounts if we want integration with
Github. I guess this is just a configuration issue, right?

A minor issue is that the messages Gerrit sends to Github are a bit
pointless "Message from PersonA: (1 comment)". It would be better if the
integration either works (like adding comments to a specific line or
updating the commits) or not pollute.

Same goes for bug tracker...
