2) How do I use my committer powers (if I happen to want to use

Go to a PR (e.g. https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/pull/3 <https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/pull/3> ) at the bottom of the page there is "Rebase and merge"/"Squash and merge" button (as you choose), click it and PR will be merged.

I asked because I don't have such button. Thought that maybe you didn't migrate committers list to GitHub yet. But now I suspect that this is because Jenkins build is failing, which seems to be a migration bug:
https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/pull/3

Github supports PR on top of PR (aka Gerrit style) if you think you need it (see https://blog.logrocket.com/using-stacked-pull-requests-in-github/

Hmm, these pr-on-top-of-pr look like a quite inconvenient thing to use.

What I meant is:
1) Before GitHub, on Gerrit that is, all patches were usually submitted as a single commit 2) Sometimes, I prefer to split a commit into more fine-grained commits. This doesn't change the amount of work submitted in single PR, it only splits it in chunks for easier reviews (and easier reverts when needed).
3) GitHub already supports PRs consisting of multiple commits
4) I am asking if this is appropriate, and suggest that this should in fact be recommended whenever a commit can be split into chunks for easier reviews.

Bugzilla is scheduled for removal so no support would be done for it. See https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/wikis/Gerrit/Gerrit-and-Bugzilla-deprecation-and-migration-plan

Oh, that comes unexpected. Thought Bugzilla was still the central place for submitting bugs.
