Please note that upstream review happens on mailing lists, not in
gerrit. Internal reviews for Chrome OS development are certainly fine
there, but that will not mean the patch will then be accepted upstream
as-is, it will still need to go through the upstream review process,
without any shortcut. I strongly recommend using an upstream-first
strategy, with public review.
