Gerrit uses a different concept. You do not create pull/merge requests, you upload a patch (by pushing to a special gerrit branch), that gets reviewed, and finally cherry-picked into the branch you requested.
You find an introduction to the workflow here: https://wiki.qt.io/Gerrit_Introduction
And some information about how to set yourself up here: https://wiki.qt.io/Setting_up_Gerrit

Not if you upload a patch :)
