The site administrator inserts them into a code table in the
database.  Review states are global to a server installation
and apply to all changes processed on that server.

Sure, and so is the current "IP Log" state we have.  Its not in the
standard Gerrit.  I just customized the code table when I installed
the server.

The problem with this is... these flags have to be supplied in
order to submit a change.  So if we add the last one, every change
would have "CQ approved" on it, even if it was written by a project
committer and doesn't require a CQ.  I feel that is too misleading
to be useful.

Really, Gerrit needs to be taught how to have more conditional flags.
Then we can do what you want.  Its in our list of things we want
Gerrit to do.  Its just a matter of writing the code.
