Khai Do (zaro) is our friendly Gerrit dev in Infra. You might be able to
bribe him into helping out.

I actually also frequently want to just post a link to a line in the
diff in IRC before it even has a review comment on it - because I'm a
bad person and review things in IRC a lot (I find the RTT more useful
when my review has a question associated with it to just poke people) So
I would love more link anchors I could give people.
