Gerrit prevents upstreaming patches from others

Dear LibreOffice folks,


I was asked to push a commit for review to the LO Gerrit instance [1].

The patch is from a colleague, who is denoted as the commit author. No 
Gerrit complains, that I am not the author, and my colleagues email 
address is not registered to *my* Gerrit account.

Could you please change that, and disable that limitation? I don’t see 
any reason for it.

At least the committer address should also be looked at. Or some kind of 
Signed-off-by procedure.


Kind regards,

Paul
