How is this: http://wiki.openstack.org/GerritWorkflow
Better than this: http://wiki.openstack.org/LifeWithBzrAndLaunchpad

At the last summit, we said it wasn't a bzr vs git issue but, rather, a workflow issue. People hated LP and loved github. But now it seems we're only using github for git.

An open source project lives and dies by its contributors. I think this is like putting up a large stone wall with a sign on it that says "Stay out". At least with LP, it was easy enough that people could dip their toe in.

Either we should use github or we shouldn't (until it meets our requirements).
