Except if you're trying to push multiple commits you made before
installing the hook (then you need to go back and --amend them one
by one so Gerrit will accept them). Note this may be similarly
confusing when we eventually switch from the ICLA to the DCO, where
Gerrit will start rejecting your commits if you weren't already in
the habit of putting signed-off-by footers in all your commit
messages. Actually more confusing because we can't reasonably
automate that step away for anyone (since it loses its legal intent
if we did).

Yes, but it _is_ going to significantly increase the risk of
contributors not qualifying to vote in technical elections or
receive event registration discounts if they choose (intentionally
or accidently) to not join the foundation or list different E-mail
addresses there vs. in Gerrit. We ought to preserve some means of
making sure they're still aware during onboarding that they might
want to take those extra steps.
