That will be the workflow in the end (when gerrit owns the repo). As for seeing
the diff: we now have gitweb integrated there(*), so ignore "Diff all unified" and
just use the "gitweb" links (see here: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/179/).

Then click on "review" select  "+1 verified/+2 code-review", write thank you
below and it will be cherry-picked on master and the submitter will get a mail.

The second step however does not yet work as long as gerrit does not own the
repository. Thats why it is so damn important, that everyone gets his gerrit
account set up as requested a month ago, so that we can switch over completely.

Best,

Bjoern
