Issue 1417: Field to classify a code review comment
Status:  New
Owner: ----
Reported by jose.par...@gmail.com, May 30, 2012
Hi,

A representative group of our internal users is asking for a drop down list to enable the classification of the actual code review comment. In the requester words:

"Gerrit tool is widely used by open source Linux community for patch review however there is no way today to classify the type of comment i.e. if the review comment is technical (e.g. design, implementation etc) or format related (e.g. coding guideline, comments format, indent/spacing, spell mistake etc). We need customization on gerrit tool to capture such information since this information is quite useful for ODC (Orthogonal defect classification) analysis.
This could be achieved e.g. by adding a drop down list in review comment text box. When a reviewer adds a comment, the tool should mandate to chose the right classification."

We're running our internal clone of gerrit since 2009, today supporting the global operation for more that one thousand internal users spread in about 20 countries.

Regards,

José Paredes

As this is a more project specfic thing, it should probably be a plugin, not a (mandatory) core feature.

As for me it should be configurable for each project with possibility to modify it by admin.
