Just to inform you, that Google shuts down the OpenID 2.0 service on April 20, 2015, as explained in this announcement [1].
I wonder if Gerrit could be easily talked into additionally accepting OpenID Connect (OAuth 2.0 login), the successor of OpenID 2.0, see also http://openid.net/connect/ http://openid.net/2014/02/26/the-openid-foundation-launches-the-openid-connect-standard/ Google is explicitly mentioned as one of the implementors and "Google is betting big on OpenID Connect because it’s simple for developers to understand and makes it easy to federate with identity providers." (which effectively probably is the reason why they shutdown OpenID 2.0) so the benefit of being already logged into Google (really, you want that?) when login into Gerrit could persist. https://developers.google.com/+/api/auth-migration#timetable says "mapping of OpenID 2.0 identifiers to OAuth 2.0 identifiers will continue to work until January 1, 2017." so this might be attractive for those who don't want to sign up with yet another OpenID provider. Btw, for those who don't want a launchpad.net ID for religious reasons there's a fedoraproject.org ID server ;-) And it is always good to have at least two OpenID providers assigned to one account.. as April 20 will tell..
