I had done a little research on Gerrit before the April 2018 discussion 
about GitLab. I gathered Gerrit would be one of the closest things to 
LilyPond's current Rietveld code review. As an open-source project, 
LilyPond would have a chance of free hosting for Gerrit on Red Hat's 
OpenShift platform, and possibly other places.

Gerrit also has integration plug-ins for several issue trackers.

It looks like there isn't one yet for Apache Allura, although there is a 
"base" framework that gets extended for each issue tracker integration. 
So developing something for Allura would not have to be done from scratch.
