No even then. The recommended way to do a working patch is using drafts:

 https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Gerrit#Submitting_patches_as_drafts

Everything else is frustrating reviewers checking "open" changes.

Also, even _if_ a change would still be uploaded accidentally for review
although it is not intended to be merged as is, there is little harm done, when
the change is abandoned under the conditions above. Reviving a abandoned change
is trivial and the autoabandon is actually a helpful reminder -- better than
letting them stay in limbo for months.
