No idea if this can be done by a Gerrit configuration, I'm not an admin
there :)

I suspect Gerrit gives the option to run a script after someone pressed
the [submit] button for merging, and before the actual commit is pushed
into the branch. If there is no config option, such a hook-script could
be made to work. But, my Gerrit experience on that level is
non-existent, so I can be completely wrong.
