Hi, It's recently come to my attention that gitlab has Approvals. Was anyone else aware of this feature? You can just click a button and have your name recorded in the system as having signed off on landing a patch? Blew my mind.
So with that being said, we also have this thing in the Mesa repo where everyone* has to constantly be adding these esoteric tags like Reviewed-by (I reviewed it), and Acked-by (I rubber stamped it), or Tested-by (I compiled it and maybe ran glxgears), and so forth. * Except some incredibly smart people already know where I'm going with this Instead of continuing to have to manually update each patch with the appropriate and definitely-unforgeable tags, what if we just used Approvals in the UI instead? We could then have marge-bot require approvals as needed in components and bring reviewing into the current year. Just think: no more rewriting all the commit logs and force-pushing the branch again before you merge! Anyway, I thought maybe this would be a nice idea to improve everyone's workflows. What do other people think? Mike
