Here is the algorithm:
https://git.eclipse.org/c/jgit/jgit.git/tree/org.eclipse.jgit/src/org/eclipse/jgit/util/ChangeIdUtil.java#n78

I think "enduring commit id" is a fair interpretation of it's purpose. 
I don't speak for the Gerrit developers so I can not say if they are
interested in alternative id generation.  I come to the list as a
change-id user/consumer.
