Open Stack

I disagree.  I find lots of valuable in github even if trunk merges require gerrit.

Teams can (and IMHO should) use pull requests to improve the quality before it is proposed to trunk.  Pull requests to branches can be made while the work is still in progress (sending patches to others branches is something that can be done in BZR, but seems to be rarely done)
