Any project in Gerrit can be configured to copy the Code-Review ratings 
from the previous iteration of a review when only the commit message gets 
changed. I see both positives and negatives of such an option -- at the 
same time it would help you in a situation like this one, but at the other 
hand it might let non-KDE developers do stupid things like changing the 
commit message arbitrarily. That's why I went the paranoid way and 
configured this to use the defaults and not copy stuff around in such a 
situation. We still copy on a trivial rebase, htough.

Are you guys more in favor of copying the reviews upon a change in the 
commit message? I can make it happen.

Cheers,
Jan
