When we upgrade to Gerrit 2.6 (we're waiting on two changes from Khai Do
to be accepted upstream, and then we should be able to!), I believe we
will get the ability to have per-project review categories, so we might
have something richer here ("Motion passed: Yes/No").  And use a label
other than "Code Review".

In the mean time, yes, I'd suggest abandoning it with a comment that the
motion failed (also, if Gerrit is used for voting, then it will also
probably be obvious from the review votes).

Adding someone as a proxy could be as simple as adding them to the
appropriate group in Gerrit (which is just a couple of clicks).  Or
alternately, The chair could leave a comment listing proxy votes
received.

[With some moderately intensive restructuring of our Gerrrit ACLs, we
could configure it so that only TC members could vote Code Review +/-1
(anyone can still leave a comment) and only the chair can vote Code
Review +/-2 and Approved.]
