This is exactly what git gpush does, except that it does everything without 
changing your checkout, which means you won't trigger a full rebuild-the-
world. It has a few more features beyond that, including the ability to pass 
reviewers in the command-line and handling of multiple patch groups in the 
same branch, for those who are crazy to develop like I am.

Sometimes, the cherry-picking without checkout fails. So you may have to do 
the above anyway. If this happens often enough, like it does for me, I 
recommend having a separate clone or git new-workdir, so you aren't forced to 
rebuild the world.
