I worked with Johannes off-list to debug the problem.  Here's a summary
for anyone else who runs into this:

This can happen if you clone a repository other than
github.com/opestack/PROJECT.  For instance, if you clone a private
github fork instead of the one in the openstack GitHub organization.  If
you run "git config -l", you should see (using glance as an example):

remote.origin.url=https://github.com/openstack/glance.git
remote.gerrit.url=ssh://USERNAME@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:29418/openstack/glance.git

The instructions in the wiki[1] assume that you're cloning the main
public repository, as to do the tools we recommend, and the simplest
solution is to clone a new copy of the main repo.

I agree there should be a better error message in this case.  I've filed
a bug about that[2].
