it depends on how the involed parties want to work. it certainly would
be possible to polish the "initial import" into a state that is
acceptable in itself and build other self-contained changes on top. that
tends to be unrealistic for big contributions by inexperienced
developers, so a squash is typically unavoidable, but it comes with
downsides as well (especially if it is team work, as work becomes not
individually attributable any more).

also, never forget that a gerrit review is a branch in itself. i have a
branch with 40+ changes pending for months in gerrit (reviewers for perl
code wanted, btw :D).

not yet. it's preferable not to do that if the team can get an approver
involved. which you definitely should, because early feedback
significantly reduces the total cost.
