I'm not sure what you mean by "overmore" ("furthermore"?), but
*anyone* can push patches to gerrit. You don't need any authorization.
refs/for/master is a magic branch name that creates a code review with
the patch in it, which a committer can come and look at (the same way
they would an emailed patch) and then hit the "submit" button if they
think it's okay. This is *less* effort for the committers, because
they don't need to actually update their tree, apply a patch, and
commit it: it's literally one button :)
