You need to be added to a group that allow that.

how does one create a patch without git ?
and isn't the whole point of OpenID is 're-use'.
so you are left with the step of adding a ssh key in your profile...

anyway...
Anonymous Uer are only allow to read
Registered User do not have the authority to 'Forge' Author and/or Committer
people in the Commiter Group can... so you need to be added to it

somehow I cannot find you're id in Gerrit, so I cannot add you to the
right 'group'

So I'm wondering how were you even trying to push a patch ?
