I am in favor of this for security reasons.

However, I don't know how do this using built-in features. It's clearly possible with a plugin, but it would have non-negligible maintenance cost on infra side.

BTW, Gerrit understands differences between patchsets, returned in "kind" field[1], quote:

> Valid values are REWORK, TRIVIAL_REBASE, MERGE_FIRST_PARENT_UPDATE, NO_CODE_CHANGE, and NO_CHANGE.

For a moment I thought that would be path to a solution, but I don't see how any more. Maybe others have an idea?

Removing Milestone-Afterglow, as it has ceased to have meaning. More refined milestones may be added back in the near future.
