That seems a common misunderstanding, the gerrit hooks are not related to jenkins, jenkins connects to gerrit itself (has stream access) independently of the hooks. Clarified that, not sure why engine-patches is needed but I think itamar and some team leads use it to monitor activity. Though afaik that can be done subscribing to the project (maibe that feature was not available on gerrit before)
