The Gerrit system is only used by us several people. Once there is a Change A, and its status is: "Submitted, Merge Pending". The change list in the "open" web page. Also I noticed this Change had a dependency on another change B (which status is abandoned).

  1. How to make A listed on "Merged" web page ?
  2. How to make B disappear, so A has no more dependency on B ?

If change A has a dependency on B, then A cannot be merged until B is merged. Since you have abandoned B, Gerrit will not automatically merge A.

What you will need to do is modify A (perhaps using git rebase) so that it no longer depends on B, and resubmit the change to Gerrit.
