GitHub released a new "code review" feature yesterday. You press a button and can "approve of a PR" - kinda nice. You can see Kuppitz gave it a try yesterday on this PR:
https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/416 as opposed to a VOTE +1. He seemed to like that and I do too. of course, the "code review" feature isn't integrated with apache automation, so: 1. it doesn't tie to the JIRA comment system, so we don't get the VOTE there. 2. as a result of 1, we don't get a email to dev capturing the VOTE. Since all decisions must occur on the dev list - that's not so good. Personally, I feel like the "code review" feature is sorta lacking. You can't see the number of approvals summed up on the list screen, so you end up going into the PR anyway to see who has approved. So that's not saving any time. I also like that when we VOTE we usually comment something to say how/what we tested - i think there's a option for that with code review, but again, it's not like i see that without going into the issue anyway. And all that aside, I think that without the apache automation, we shouldn't use this. We have a good track record of using the dev list of decision making - i think we should just stick to that. If you want a one button push to +1 a PR, then, do what i do, and use a "saved comment" - that works well for me for standard replies.
