Issue DM-704: Better review notification e-mails
Russell writes: {quote} I think our system for getting code reviewed using JIRA needs some improvements. It seems that people don't always know that they have been assigned to review a ticket. Also, even if I know I have been assigned to review a ticket, I find it hard to find on JIRA. More concretely, I would like to see these improvements: - Much clearer notification that one has been assigned as a reviewer. Presently the email is quite generic and easy to miss. In fact I find that most JIRA notifications are rather hard to read -- it's not always easy to see what has changed and thus why I should care. The signal to noise ratio is poor. - By default a user should see which issues they have been assigned as reviewer when they log into JIRA. (If there is a way to reconfigure the dashboard for this, I'd like to know about it, but it really should be the default). One way to fix this, of course, is to reassig the ticket when putting it into review, but we have good reasons to avoid that. -- Russell {quote} and I added: {quote} In fact, you don't know that the ticket has passed into review unless you scroll all the way to the bottom of the comment. If the comment associated with the change in status is long and you don't scroll all the way down, then you may not know that you were assigned to review. With Trac, the important information was at the top of the e-mail. {quote}
