Hi Kevin:

It seems that gerrit once had this functionality and someone didn't like
it: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/repo-discuss/NSM5aio2oHs

The patch to disable notification emails on rebase was merged a year
ago: https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/c/53740/

I'm uncertain how to evaluate which release this patch is in but we did
upgrade to 2.11 late last November, so am going with this patch is in
our current production instance of gerrit.

Suggestions:
perhaps add to the mailing list thread on the topic that you would like
this feature to be accessible in a toggleable setting
work through the comments on the merged patch (I have not) and see if
there is any opposition to making it toggleable
submit a patch (Khai Do - zaro - is a good person to talk to here) to
make the feature toggleable

Thanks for your clear description of your experience, Kevin, I
appreciate it.

Thanks,
Anita.
