If I'm not mistaken, that is not requested. A draft change in gerrit is a change
sent to the special branch refs/drafts/master. This is a real draft, that
differs from a regular change for the fact that it's not visible to others,
until it gets promoted to refs/for/master. A draft change can be reviewed, but
this requires the author to manually add reviewers. A [WIP] change it's just a
regular change, where the author is informing others that the change is not
ready to merge. This is a common practice across projects and VCSes, but it's
not enforced by anything on git/gerrit. Nothing prevents a [WIP] change to be
merged. From my experience Wireshark developers do that to make the review
process easier (for instance because petri dish can't be triggered on a draft
change), allowing anyone interested in reviewing it on board.

Hi Dario,

Maybe you can write something like this on
https://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/SubmittingPatches to make this more well
known.

Thanks,
Jaap
