You should push the change to Gerrit. Here are some instructions:

http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/ITK/Gerrit
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/ITK/Gerrit/Primer

Those instructions are for ITK, but I believe you just need to change an "I"
to a "V" since you are working on VTK.

Once you push to Gerrit, you need to add "Reviewers" to look over the code.
