Describe the enhancement and the motivation for it.
We'd love to see a way to add commentary on code before publishing a review
in order to explain changes inline in a similar fashion to reviewing
inline. Some slightly different UI elements might make sense for this,
though:
* A different visual cue to highlight the comment for reviewers as they
read the diffs
* Ability to reply to such a note, thus attaching the review comment to
the line of code AND to the note so that both contexts are preserved on the
reviews page.
* Perhaps a set of links on the main review page under the description to
the notes.
Here's a use case:
I modify GNU fsutils to make rm not delete symlinks when provided a
--no-symlinks option. I post a review, but before publishing, I want to
explain inline that the use of stat and not lstat in a given section of
code was a conscious choice, and yielded an important benefit. I make this
comment on that particular line of code and then reviewers can respond more
cogently.
