Hi,

The TSC has discussed and voted in favor of changing the pull request and review process by enabling options provided by Github.

 

Specifically, we will be enabling an option that will cause new reviewable commits pushed to a pull-request branch to dismiss existing pull request review approvals and asking reviewers to revisit and re-review the new changes since they last reviewed the PR.

 

For reference, here is the settings screen with the option enabled:

 

Graphical user interface, text, application, email

Description automatically generated

 

This means that you will be asked to re-review changes when new content is being added to a pull-request. Please continue to provide reviews and keep watching for changes and enhancements added to pull-requests as they evolve.

 

This change will go into effect immediately.

 

Regards,

Anas

Hi Anas,

A question on the feature:

If I rebase a PR without changing the content, does it trigger request for new reviews?

Also a clarification:
The text says "New reviewable commits pushed" - Does that also trigger if you amend an existing commit and push that, or is it only if you add new commits?

Best regards,

Just FYI, for reasons unknown, GitHub is attributing the dismissed approved reviews to my account, dleach02. I am not doing this and I have submitted a bug to the GitHub support to get them to look into this.

Hi Emil,

In one PR, I was able to use the rebase button from within the GH web UI
to rebase without re-requesting reviews. YMMV.

It appears the github notification has changed where it now has the PR author as the person dismissing the stale reviews when pushing an update…
