This should be done through gerrit's support for role accounts. I can =
either create them manually, or this could wait until we upgrade to the =
latest gerrit version when they can be created automatically (this would =
be preferred)

We should also upload a known broken change to gerrit and check that =
Hudson correctly identifies it. At the moment, it's sprinkling =
'verified' over every commit it sees, and we don't actually know whether =
it's telling the truth or not.
