Hi Gyanesh, The new issue tracking feature is intended as a way to speed up the review process. Typically, when a reviewer found something that needed to be changed, they would make a comment and say what the problem was. The developer would then generally reply with "Fixed" or "Done" or something. When replying to many comments at once, this could get tedious.
Issue tracking streamlines this a bit. If a comment is marked as opening an issue, then the comment on the review will have a little banner saying that an issue is open, with Fixed and Drop buttons. Clicking Fixed is equivalent to saying "Okay, done." Drop is more of a "No, I disagree," and should generally be followed up with a reply. Going forward, we'll be using issue tracking to better indicate what was fixed when the diff is next updated, and will provide a summary of all issues filed and fixed. Could also be useful for statistics reporting down the road. Hope that helped clear things up?
