The hardest part would be finishing the setup and making it up and running.
Unlike the build slaves which can go down and lost sometimes,
The code review records need to be more permanent
since people want to read the conversation and see how decisions were made.

That's being said, I personally agree that Gerrit can be a great choice.
Starting from an experiment like Adam is suggesting to GitHub won't hurt,
if someone does setup the server.
