Sure. Note that I've said "I sign a disclaimer saying I'VE wrote that
code...blah, blah". Blames to me ( a simple note on commit, and solved
). I'm not a lawyer, so perhaps I'm absolutely wrong, but we can always
find a simple solution for this case.

P.S. : I've just seen a "Tools->Git->Gerrit..." option in QtCreator. Is
that a try to integrate gerrit interaction with QtCreator ? It could be
a great solution to simple patches as ours...
