I have one idea for low-hanging fruit to put new contributors more at ease:
to explain a little about both when and why the "Merge" button is finally
pressed on a change.

I mean so that new contributors won't have doubts like "is it bad that my
change isn't merged yet?", "am I being too meek?", "am I being too pushy?",
"have I missed a step somewhere?", "how often should I skip dinner with my
family to attend more/different IRC meetings?", and so on.

I have had a good experience with this but that is many thanks to friendly
people giving me informal feedback and reassurance outside of the Gerrit
workflow and official docs.

Cheers,
-Luke
