Apologies for the misleading GitHub portion in my previous comment. I agree, Rust is wonderfully maintained on GitHub.

That said, Google might consider it easier to work with Gerrit, Rietveld, Gitiles, etc. because they can work with the source code of these projects directly, than having to write potentially ugly code to work around missing pieces in GitHub's API.

I'd love to learn whether a large scale project such as Rust has run into these issues with GitHub.

It's all good! I didn't think you were saying Rust was somehow mis-managed.

There's some stuff that could be nicer with GitHub generally, but I don't think having the source would make it any easier to build out this automation; github's API is pretty solid.
