I am making a tool for programmatic code change integration across
multiple branches.
I am cherry-picking a change from branch A to branch B and then
pushing the change in branch B to gerrit for review. I was able to
preserve Author and Commiter from change in branch A. I am, however,
having troubles with faking the Owner of the change. I would like the
Owner be the same as Commiter.

You can't.
The only way to fake the owner is to use the suexec command in
Gerrit's SSH daemon to become another user, and execute `git
receive-pack PROJECT.git` as the command. You can specify the command
line from the client with `git push --receive-pack="suexec ... "`.
There are issues with using suexec, like the end-user must login as
"Gerrit Code Review" and must present an SSH key that is on a special
authorized keys list that grants super-Administrator privileges.
