neilfitz added a comment to T11664: Add option to allow owner packages to be added as reviewers to diffs, when the diff author is in the owner package.

As more of a point of philosophy of code review also, I (and, I think, my teammates) would say that diffs should be reviewed by someone who both:

  1. Understands the relevant code
  2. Did not write the code themselves

In other words, the combination of expertise + different perspective is of value beyond each component individually. If you believe that, then B or C should review A's diff in this case.

neilfitz added a comment to T12778: Repository mirroring is much more frequent than necessary.

Thanks for the detailed response! We hadn't considered that people might tamper with mirror remotes, so you make a very good point there that our proposed change might cause a regression. And you're quite right that logging is our problem.

I actually wasn't sure which to pick myself, since it's not as specific as most bug reports, but it seemed more like undesirable behavior of an existing feature, as opposed to a new feature. Would it be more appropriate to consider this as a feature request instead?

neilfitz added a project to T12423: Bring MenuItem customization options to User Profiles: Restricted Project.

Hey, we're also interested in this by way of T12545 (which was merged in above). A couple of our teams have historically assigned their oncall/tech-debt tasks to a mailing list user, and used the priority-sorted view of those tasks to run their oncall shifts. That workflow no longer works with the reverse-chronological sort.

neilfitz added a project to T12118: Differential email does not contain reviewers/subscribers information anymore: Restricted Project.

Our users are also missing this, since they can't tell whether they're a blocking/lone reviewer from the e-mail.

neilfitz added a project to T12106: task search not finding task with full word match : Restricted Project.

Hey, one of our teams is experiencing this issue as well - many of their tasks include the name of a flag with a lot of punctuation, such as subgrowth_biz_buy_order_summary. At some point in the not-terribly-distant past, searching for these flags started to return 0 results.

neilfitz moved T12088: Moving task cards on a project workboard sorted by priority is extremely slow from Restricted Project Column to Restricted Project Column on the Restricted Project board.

You're right, works fine for me against a Phacility test instance. Huh.

Thanks for the quick response! I'll send that last image over to our user, and see if it's an improvement for them as well.

Okay, after some tests, looks like the user has deuteranopia. Consistent with what you have there.

Uh, I'll see if they can take an online test to narrow it down further.

They don't know what type they have more specifically than red-green, unfortunately.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. To be clear, the user doesn't have an issue reading the text; they have an issue distinguishing between red highlight and green highlight. I think it would be even more confusing without any highlighting at all.
