On openracks Gerrit, they have a "Work in Progress" button. I'm not 100% sure the workflow, but I think we should have a "Work in progress" button as well. Obligatory screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/M8XXMPu.png
I am all for new, shiny buttons—yay buttons!—but what problem does the "Work in Progress"-button solve, or is there a use case? -- Just to have that here as well, and I'll forget otherwise: Coincidently, just yesterday someone from openstack started a discussion in #gerrit about their WiP button. There seems to be a related upstream change, https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/c/36091/1 which openstack wants to get into upstream. Upstream does not like that change, and suggests to use labels instead. (2013-07-06 ~16:31–20:40 UTC. Logs on http://echelog.com/logs/browse/gerrit/1372975200 does not show that part yet.)

New feature => "enhancement" severity
If memory serves, it relies on some hacks to their code that haven't made it into upstream. There was some discussion upstream awhile back, but I remember nobody being particularly interested in seeing it through. I'm going to wontfix, social conventions work just fine here. If you don't want something to merge, provide a negative review of sorts or indicate it in the commit message.

I'm not sure about a button, but the underlying goal here is to prevent dashboards/queues from the added noise of "draft changes"/"[WIP]" changes. Re-opening this for further consideration with a clarified bug summary.
