Specifically the problem I've been seeing is that people using the
website are unable to CC mailing list-based developers. As a result I
don't get copied in on responses to my review comments, and rarely get
any kind of direct mail with threading. You end up having to dig up
historic responses in the mailing list archive which becomes tedious.
Often the CC on website reviews will include arbitrary names of people
who have website accounts, while excluding the actual code owners and
recent committers who you'd expect would be relevant. This leads me to
guess that the website is actively blocking the email addresses of LLVM
developers from getting added to the CC list unless they open an account
on the service.
In fact as far as I can tell, mailing list-based developers are
*completely* excluded from the CC list visible on the website. This
creates a really poor workflow with responses often getting missed, and
the right people not seeing patches (and conversely, it looks like
people who aren't really relevant end up getting pressured into
reviewing a patch in some area).

Alp noted that the current setup on how phab reviews land on the list
are not working for him. I'd be curious whether his setup is special,
or whether there are more widespread problems. If this is more widely
perceived as a problem, please speak up, and I'll make sure to
prioritize the fixes (note that this is unrelated to the "lost email"
problem - those are always highest priority and as far as I'm aware we
diagnosed and fixed all of them within 1-2 business days).
If you have the feeling that the phab email workflow makes it hard for
you to jump into reviews, keep track of reviews, or understand reviews
if you're not a phab user, please reply to this thread. You don't need
to provide details, "+1", "please fix", or "doesn't work well for me"
are all acceptable replies here - I want to get a feeling for the
magnitude of the problem.
Thanks,
