Issue 2032: Allow drafts to be optionally visible, similar to regular patches
Status:  New
Owner: ----

This would enable everyone to see a draft patch in the dashboard, if the patch owner enables this option. Would be helpful to share a draft review with a larger team, without having to tag individuals on the review.

What's the difference between a visible draft patch and a real change with -1 from the author?

In our setup at least, a real change triggers jenkins jobs, whereas unpublished drafts do not.

This could be partially solved with the "View Drafts" permission.

Users who are members of a group that has "View Drafts" permission on a ref will be able to see the drafts that are not published.

I say "partially solved" because it would apply to all drafts.  The users won't be able to enable it per patch set.
