Yes, Change-Id added locally, by a git-hook.

Nah, just to make sure there is one in case it gets pushed to gerrit.

It is master, but read again: "Before that the builds are assembled on
pre-release server"

stuff gets collected on that server until all builds are available,
and only then is the stuff added to the mirror/main download server.

Sources are made available on the mirrors the same moment when the binaries are.

If you want to trigger your builds before that, you have to pull the
source tarballs from the pre-release server.
