I have many many repositories with the only remote being a Gerrit repo. It's often named 'eclipse', sometimes, it's still 'origin'. It seems like EGit manages to detect that, because in those cases, the "Commit and Push..." button shows the review icon, and clicking it opens the Gerrit push wizard. But the remote part of the dialog is always empty. Worse, the combo box to select a remote shows no proposal (although I have only 1 remote defined...). The only solution I see is to close the dialog, get back to the Project Explorer (because the staging view doesn't allow direct push, see bug 512457), find the right project, and do right-click > Push... to get the generic push wizard which is usable. That consumes a lot of clicks, moves mouse in many places, needs to switch views and contexts, and interrupts the flow of thoughts.
OK, so I just realized that EGit does use the Gerrit push dialog because there is a change-id. It's a good thing, it's just the push dialog itself not being smart enough.

Thanks for the fix, Mickael!
I upgraded to EGit snapshot earlier today, and I think I already saved ~15 minutes of raw time (without counting the induced cost of switching views moving attention and time it takes to come back to initial state) today thanks to this change. The return on investment of this contribution is really high for me. Thanks Thomas for your prompt reviews making it possible!
