How to add reviewers to a Gerrit changeset when commit author/change owner reviews his own change by adding +1 to either 'code review' or 'verified' section? This is common practice that change owner makes multiple patchsets and when it is ready he marks +1 and adds other reviewers manually so that they can start reviewig. How can gerrit be configured to add reviewers automatically since we have the same set of reviewers for all patches?

The default reviewers can be configured in the Gerrit Web UI under Projects > List > <your project> > General in the reviewers Plugin section. The reviewers-by-blame plugin can automatically add reviewers to changes based on the git blame computation on the changed files.
Adding default pull request reviewers for a single repository. To add default pull request reviewers for a single repository (requires repo admin permissions): Go to Repository settings > Default reviewers. Click Add default reviewers.
Go to: Projects > List > All-Projects or a specific project > Access > Edit and add permissions. More info: gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/…
To manually verify a change, a reviewer must have the Verified permission. Then, the reviewer can fetch and checkout that branch from Gerrit. Hannah has this permission, so she is authorized to manually verify Max's change. The Verifier can be the same person as the code reviewer or a different person entirely.
Functionality you ask is not present in Gerrit by default. However, for adding default reviewers for a project, there is a plugin for it. That adds reviewers who would be always there for a given repository.
Other alternatives, as highlighted in this discussion, is to ask the reviewers add the project as a watched project or write a hook for it. However I'd use the plugin.
The binary for the plugin is downloadable from jenkins (2.12, 2.11, master).
