The other aspect of submission for review is that it would also allow test builds to be done on both Windows and Ubuntu platforms via the Petri-dish builder. Note that you should squash any commits in your local branch before submitting the changes to keep a single change in Gerrit. Using git-review helps a lot here, highly recommended. If you do decide to submit before it's complete, prefix the commit message with "[WIP]" so that it won't accidentally be merged, the prefix can be removed from the message when ready. A bugzilla entry (referenced in the commit message with a Bug: xxxx footer) with attached sample captures will also help the review. -- Graham Bloice
