Looks like David Ostrovsky has been right in the thick of this working on Gerrit to do just that--providing generic handling of OAuth providers, e.g. GitHub, and presumably Google's "OpenID 2" OAuth 2 replacement "OpenID Connect". See https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/c/65101/ addressing Gerrit issues https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2677 and https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2715 Looks like those bits have missed the last couple of release cycles--but even if it makes it in for Gerrit 2.11, LO would still need to upgrade from current 2.8.6.1 build. A read of the two Gerrit issues suggest that dumping the Google OpenID services was found in best interest of the project-- accomplished with https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/c/57450/ "OpenID: Remove support for Google Accounts", so I believe that is the 2.9.3 release. Of course that means that LO can't upgrade its Gerrit right now because it would inconvenience, if not lock out, some percentage of the accounts still tied to Google's OpenID--getting them migrated to alternate OpenID providers needs to happen in no uncertain terms so that when Google shuts down its OpenID 2 service folks are not locked out of LO Gerrit. Unfortunately, as with my experience with the StackExchange OpenID, I really don't think the cut over will be "seamless or uneventful" for LO project. @David Os., Norbert--did I get that right?
