[eclipse-pmc] Gerrit submit strategies proposal

We are seeing an increating contributions and our gerrit verification jobs start to suffer due to our usage of "Fast forward only" strategy. Reality though is that no one rebases his change multiple times and wait for gerrit again just because another commit went in, I've tried and in platform.ui I gave up on 3rd rebase and just pushed it right after rebase. But even this generated one more totally useless gerrit build.
So my proposal is to change our strategy to "Rebase if Necessary"  - I don't see any downside using it and multiple benefits - free a lot of time on our builders, reduce interruptions for contributors and so on.
Let's discuss today on PMC call
