Gerrit should have a "drover" plugin to simplify merges

Project Member Reported by dpranke@chromium.org, Aug 17 2017

Issue description

Now that we're on Gerrit, we should be able to replace the drover script we use to do merges to our release branches with a Gerrit plugin that does more-or-less the same thing, only much faster and easier and in a more foolproof way.

It probably needs to be an actual plugin and not just a button that does a merge, since we want to modify the commit message, etc.
 
Isn't this already possible with the "cherry-pick" option, which allows specifying a branch, updating commit message, etc?

The only thing it doesn't do that I know of is provide a way to resolve conflicts, but it's possible it does that and I'm simply not aware of how.

Removing Milestone-Afterglow, as it has ceased to have meaning. More refined milestones may be added back in the near future.
Status: Fixed (was: Untriaged)
We've hooked the cherry-pick button to do this.
