In case folks on this list haven't seen it before, Gerrit[1] offers a
workflow that might be attractive to Gentoo, over and above GitHub's.

Some example's of Gerrit in use include the Qt project [2] and Coreboot
project [3]

Of special interest is that Gerrit provides an API by which verification
scripts can be run against each patch under consideration, such a repoman.
It further lets authorized users to push a patch from the web, without
needing to open the git commandline, similar to how GitHub pull requests
work.

Just food for thought!
