New description:

 Currently '''GerritStatusPush''' will try to push status update to Gerrit
 after build of every project in the system, perhaps it would be wise to
 add some filtering capabilities to it?

 '''builderName''' and '''builderName_re''' should be enough, but maybe we
 should add filters for project and branch as well?

 I'll take care of this, but I need some feedback on this feature.

Comment (by sa2ajj):

 MailNotifier has a parameter `builders` that allows to limit the set of
 builders it sends notifications for.  The other parameter (conflicting
 with `builders`) is `categories` (to use a different criterion).

 IRC, on the other hand, has only `categories`.

 I believe a more general agreement what should be the ways and make them
 available for all status targets.
