I want to gather some feedback about adding a .gitreview file for all repos. 
The file would look like

```
[gerrit]
host=codereview.qt-project.org
project=qt/qtbase
defaultbranch=dev
```

This would help with out-of-the-box support for some IDEs, e.g. on Jetbrains 
ones it read this file to determine the default for where to submit the gerrit 
reviews.

If you have git-review cli you also have more simple interface to submit and 
fetch changes, e.g.
```
(Cherry-pick gerrit change)
$ git review -x <Change-ID>
(Submit a change)
$ git review -s 6.9
```

For new external contributors this also signals straight away that the projects 
are managed by gerrit and where to submit the changes.

For more reference about the .gitreview check the upstream documentation [1]. 
There is also a Jira bug I've opened about adding this file [2].

Yes, .gitreview is pretty standard for gerrit and there's no downside
for whoever isn't using it.

Any change that makes our repos easier to work with using generally available 
tooling is welcome.

“git-review” is not part of the standard git toolset, but it’s available from 
at least some package managers. Our (or anyone's, as far as I can tell) 
git-gpush isn't.

So, adding those files is fine by me; ideally, those additions come with some 
information on the wiki on how to then set up a workable clone of the Qt 
repositories.
