Gerrit prevents upstreaming patches from others

[Jan Iversen]

Hi

The gerrit allows people with committer status, to push patches for other people. In that case the email addr, from the person pushing becomes committer email, and the email from from patch owner becomes the author.

To do this please remember to use —author and —author-email in the commit statement.

No-committers cannot push patches on behalf of of others, because it would require 3 emails addresses in git (the email who merges the patch (the committer), the one who submitted the patch (the committer) and the author).

I am happy to help you push the patch, with the correct author.
