Gerrit evaluation process ending August 10

Hi everyone,

Y'all know about this, right?  :)
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/Gerrit_evaluation

As I said at the beginning of this process[1], the way this works is
we argue for a while, Brion watches, and then he makes the call.  You
might have also noticed my mention about a meeting today on the
subject[2].  That attempted to be a fairly mundane meeting to make
sure that Brion had everything he needed to make a decision (and give
him the opportunity to say "don't saddle me with this decision")  :)

Brion is still on board (yay!) and has everything he needs.  Here's
the list of alternatives that are under consideration now:
*  Staying with Gerrit (with GitHub integration)
*  GitHub (full migration, with some mirroring and limited private repos)
*  Phabricator
*  Gitlab
*  Extended evaluation

That last one is one I just added, to make explicit an idea that has
been mentioned many times (and one I've articulated myself).
Basically, there are many people who are dissatisfied with Gerrit who
don't feel they have the time to look into an alternative, but feel
strongly that the Wikimedia Foundation should put even more
significant resources toward an evaluation.

I'll be blunt, though.  Brion made his preference pretty clear that,
if he were to make a decision today, it would be to stick with Gerrit,
and I've made it pretty clear that's also my bias.  The other options
