Gerrit login is just github login, and so provides little in the way
of access control.

Additionally, Jenkins has weak support for other authentication
methods, often through outdated or flaky plugins.

That's a different question, and one we could probably do.

It doesn't quite work like that - if we wanted to do that, each
Jenkins job would have to authenticate that the patch had been +2ed.
That would also prevent speculative testing of non-+2ed patches by
committers, which is a legitimate use case.
