yet.. being that vague now i'm not sure what the exact issues are (and
if i caused some of them, which i fear.. but i don't know)
all i care at the moment is just to get the issues fixed

On communication problems.

So we had Marco not see your comment on a Kirigami review, but I got a
similar situation today. It's pretty easy to see why we miss stuff.

The email I got yesterday literally has just the following 2 lines.

>bcooksley reopened this revision.
>This revision is now accepted and ready to land.

It's at best confusing. It doesn't exactly look like a problem.

(Then that again for another email, and then the actual comment 3 emails
later...)

Turning this into useful feedback, when we have an issue with a commit
that's committed, I think it'd better to not bump the review, but comment
on the commit in diphusion so it starts a new thread. It should be one less
lookup from the sysadmin side too.
