Why did they submit this as a pull request in the first place? Just commit it to a WIP branch until it’s ready to merge. Am I missing something?

Probably to get some other benefitof the PR system, such as CI tests

Does gerrit have a draft state? In azure devops you can mark PR as draft , won't trigger any builds but you can still start them manually

manually

This is probably why the dev created a PR, less clicks

I don’t remember if it did when I used it. Our convention was to -2 your own change until it was ready to go 😅

I do this often. It's useful if you want to send it to your coworker for some early feedback or as others have said, have the CI run

It's been a while since I've worked with AOSP, but I had always understood it to be some weird shit with Google's internal processes. The "do not merge" commits are all over the AOSP, or at least they used to be.
