Issue 1382: LDAP groups can't be added as a reviewer
Reported by rlan...@gmail.com, May 9, 2012
Affected Version: 2.3

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make an LDAP group
2. Try to add that group as a reviewer to a change

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect Gerrit to see the LDAP group as any other group. Instead, the group doesn't appear in the auto-complete list and can't be added.

Please provide any additional information below.

I ensured the group was visible to all registered users.

Did we have any progress on this with the new group backend?

No. The group backend support does not permit external groups to be added as reviewers to changes.
A database schema change is necessary to add some sort of "CC" list with AccountGroup.UUID as the linking value, rather than Account.Id.

We are using 2.10-rc0 version and also can not add an LDAP group as reviewers, this would be a good feature for new releases.

AFAIK nobody is working on this, but contributions are welcome.
