Unless it's also too convoluted for me, a native (American) English speaker, I think the question, as stated (in a non-question form) in the subject line, can be rephrased as

	If a given change introduced a bug, and I file a bug in Bugzilla on that, is there a way that I should use to indicate, in the bug, which change introduced the bug and, possibly, indicate, in the Gerrit entry for the change, the bug that it caused?

and, in addition, it includes a second, ralated question:

	If I file a bug but *don't* indicate, in the Gerrit entry for the change, the bug that it caused, will that mean that the person who made the change might not be aware of the bug that it introduced, and does that mean that I should indicate, in the Gerrit entry for the change, the bug that it caused?
