[Gluster-devel] This looks like an interesting Gerrit option we could turn on

"Same code delta" is a bit slippery.  It can't be determined from the
patch itself, because at least line numbers and diff context will have
changed and would need to be ignored to say something's the same.  I
think forwarding scores is valuable enough that I'm in favor of turning
this option on, but we should maintain awareness that scores might get
forwarded in some cases where perhaps they shouldn't.
