Thank you for your efforts so far. Working with the Engineers, I more often hear about where the tool falls short, rather then about all the other really good things about ReviewBoard that actually works really well. The this end, I did an internal survey and came up with the following suggestions for feature improvements (see below). Thanks again for everyones efforts, Paul ------------------------------------------ [Workflow] * Ship-it lockout or reset If the ship-it option has been selected, then no other changes/diffs can be uploaded. Comments can still be made, or if a change to the code is made, then the ship-it tags are removed. * Master Ship-it A reviewer (or group) with master ship-it power is all that is required to designate that a patch be shipped. * Automated Ship-it patch submission If a patch is marked as ship-it, than commit it to the repository. (All of the required information is available, including commit comment.) * Explicitly separate Reviewers from Shippers A shipper is someone with shipping powers, a reviewer is someone who is included in the review for comment. [Integration] * Bugzilla Add a bug report comment to a bug once a review has been completed. * Subversion Block a check in of a patch/changeset until a review has been approved (for some definition of approved). [Improvements] * Allow use of Full Name where usernames are displayed Reviewboard has access to full names, it should make more use of them. -- Want to help the Review Board project?
