k, I'm trying to get my head around that.  It might be simpler for me to setup
a test instance of Gerrit for you to try stuff out on.  (pretty simple to do)

Would that be workable?

I think it'd be a matter of:

 a) Change the config for the "verified" label, as per that web page
 b) Create a new group "NetBSD Regression Group"
 c) Add the NetBSD Regression to the group
 d) Add permissions for that label to the group

I'd look into it myself, but am focused on other Gerrit bits at the moment
and already hitting info-overload way too often. ;)
