Yes, Gerrit is better than github:
http://julien.danjou.info/blog/2013/rant-about-github-pull-request-workflow-implementation
An additional argument for Gerrit which is not in Danjou's rant is that
Gerrit's way of doing things helps with bisection: Because rebasing is a PITA
in github, pull-requests are fixed (e.g. after a peer review) by adding more
commits on top of the existing commits, which is bad for bisecting, as all the
broken commits are still visible in the history. On the other hand Gerrit
help having a very clean history, very close to what is achieved in the Linux
kernel by using git send-email.
Bonus: The integration with Jenkins for automatic build when a patchset is
uploaded for review.
