[] Opt out per-user per-repo (possibly per-file) ([[https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=10318|#10318]]/[[https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/plugins/reviewers-by-blame/+/210812|r210812]] part1)

[] Attribute reviewer-by-blame requests to a bot user ([[https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=10328|#10328]]/[[https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/plugins/reviewers-by-blame/+/211189|r211189]])
