I would prefer having all the code and implementations discussion where
the code is, aka in Gerrit. Leaving Bugzilla for confirming the bug
resolution or talk about possible policy issues.
You're being a little silly here. :-)
I think I agree with you that keeping the change and the related
discussion together would be nice. The question is: how do we make Gerrit
less painful to use?
Would it be possible to have Gerrit import a JavaScript page from
MediaWiki.org (e.g., "MediaWiki:Gerrit.js")? This might allow dedicated
users to override some of the default behavior (such as the block-level
comment auto-collapsing) or add new functionality (such as a "reply" link
similar to Bugzilla's).
The basic misconception is that people attempt to
comment the code using
the 'cover message' feature when they should really use the inline
commenting feature. The cover message is only intended to summarize
what you have commented inline, that is also what is shown in the mail
notification.
Gerrit supports both inline commenting and block-level commenting. The
inline commenting is actually even more difficult to find and follow than
block-level commenting, in my opinion.
