    I'm not sure. The closest thing I've seen so far was a change to add
    GitHub OAuth support but it was abandoned:

    https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/c/57570/

    The following discussions provide a bit more background:

    https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/repo-discuss/Hjn-6BV3KBU
    https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/repo-discuss/nrtxry9SNLg


From those threads it seems that the GitHub OAuth 2.0 patch was
abandoned as it wasn't "pluggable", and that they are going to come back
with a pluggable version.

It looks like work has started:

https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/c/65101/

It also seems that they will have to support OAuth 2.0 in general (which
Google+ can be configured to work as), as that's where everyone is
heading according to the list in one thread.
