The procedure is the same for everyone: all commits go through code
review. There might be cases of self-approved commits but they're the
very exception, not the norm. See also

http://qt-project.org/wiki/Commit_Policy §12

Gerrit: https://codereview.qt-project.org/

Yes,

No. Only passing through CI is required, and CI isn't featuring such
analyzers -- it simply builds the code and runs the autotests.

Coverity Scan checks the build once a week; various people play with
the clang plugins over the codebase.

Hope this helps,
