That's possible. It also happens on email sometimes. But, I want to say that maybe the usual problem is too little code review, and not too much? :) > Strawman: maybe we can only email the cover letter to the mailing > list and include in it a link to the MR? I was hoping to make a smaller step and see what happens. Maybe this will give people the chance to try out MR based reviews, but not take away email based reviews just yet. I don't think we should move away from email based reviews until we are sure MR's actually work better.
