It will be even easier -- the upcoming Gerrit 2.11 contains an online 
editor, so the workflow will be "open file, edit it, push a button for 
making a change request".

Yes, it never occured to me that patch upload is so important for people. 
Now that it has been made clear, the proposal says that a way for uploading
