Tipping the apple cart?

Hi,

> What are you missing?

The description of the change (Review Board had that, Phabricator 
doesn't, so I got used to it, I guess...), the context of the comment 
(i.e. the code snippet a comment was added to), so I don't need to open 
GitLab to figure out what's going on.

On Phabricator you get:

Subject: D12345: Do something amazing
"Foo added inline comments
INLINE COMMENTS

somefile.cpp:123 [View Inline]
- void foo();
+ void bar();

"Do you think this change is neccessary?"

REPOSITORY
Foo Repo

To: Addressees"

Whereas with GitLab all you get is:

Subject: foo-repo | Do something amazing (!12345)
"Project:Branches: someperson/foo-repo:featurebranch -> kde/foo-repo:master

"Do you think this change is neccessary?"

[View it on Gitlab]"

 > Most of the "modern" systems do this

Doesn't mean it's better. When I review code I start reading it top to 
bottom, commenting on every detail that I find fishy, convoluted, or 
broken. Sometimes after having added a comment I find an explanation 
further down, or I realize I have misread something or I just want to 
rephrase a comment to be somewhat nicer, or I don't want to be overly 
pedantic and remove a comment again, etc.

 > against the fact that people made comments on phabricator and then 
never submitted them because you had to scroll to the bottom and press 
the "send" button.

Ideally, you'd be able to just "Add" with a banner saying you have "n 
pending comments" or "Add and submit" for a one shot immediate comment.
