Thanks for the great work on the dashboard, Gergo!

I was wondering if it's possible, and if it would make sense to everyone, that we filter changesets that start with WIP or [WIP] and have a separate section at the very bottom for them?

Yeah; that's what we do in the VE team (search operator is "-message:WIP") and it's very helpful at focussing review, especially just before the cut.

It will match anything that has a "wip" substring anywhere in its commit message, though. As far as I can see there is no way in gerrit to match only the subject line of the commit message, are the start of the line, or a whole word. That's not a big deal if you want to list those commits, but if you want to hide them and there are false positives, that could be annoying.

The OpenStack wiki mentions a WIP feature in gerrit: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Gerrit_Workflow#Work_in_Progress

I wonder if that is version-dependent, or something they set up locally? The label system could be abused into adding a WIP next to the existing reviewed/verified labels, and it is easy to filter for that,
