I think that you should be able to do this.  When you follow the directions
at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Getting_started, what error
messages to you get?  For example, you should be able to do

$ git clone ssh://plavi@gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/qa/browsertests

Then do

$ git checkout -b plavi_branch

Then make some changes in the code.  When you are done, do

$ git commit --all

This will put you into your default editor where you are required to create
a commit message for your new branch.  After you write the message and save
it in your editor, you would do

$ git review

This should give you a message about creating a "review id" and other
things.  After that happens you should see your push when you are logged in
to gerrit at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org

Is there a particular step here that is not working for you?

We can fix this I'm sure, but let us figure out where your issue is with
gerrit first.
