We have such a thing. It's called the Qt Contribution License Agreement. In 
order to put any code of yours under the CLA for use in Qt, you have to push 
it into Gerrit.

Once it's in Gerrit, the contribution will have your name as author and will 
be recorded as such forever. Even if someone touches it up to fix a small issue 
or failing regression.

In other words, we cannot skip the submission to Gerrit. I know it's a bit to 
remember how to do it, but we have a wiki for that. If you need to submit 
twice a year, just open the wiki and keep it open next to your command-line 
while you do it.

[if you're behind a corporate firewall, it will be harder to push. But then 
again, maybe you shouldn't submit code that the corporation in question owns. 
If the corporation is agreeing to the submission, the IT people will help 
getting through the firewall]
