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
