Great! I was there, of course, and saw all the other "Attachment *"
search options, but missed "Attachment Status". :-/
+ It's good how the status of an attached review is tied to the review,
i.e. the attachment. On the contrary, a review posted as additional
comment would be separate from a bugzilla keyword.
+ It's good that attaching reviews, instead of copying them into the
comments field, would solve some of the auto-wrapping problems some
people have, which invalidate GPG signatures. It also "compresses"
the list of additional comments.
+ Clicking on text/plain attachments displays them in a fresh screen
and makes it easier to save them. On the contrary, comments need
a cut'n'paste operation which might suffer from wrapping problems
as covered above.
+ Posting reviews as attachments would separate them from ordinary
comments.
- It's bad that changing an attachment status is not logged in the
list of additional comments, but only in the separate "Activity log"
unless a comment is added explicitly on the "Edit" screen. That
way you could raise the status of old attachment without giving
a reason.
Question: Does this raise the hurdle to QA again? As reviewers would
be required to not just post a clearsigned comment, they would need to
become familiar with the "Create a New Attachment" window.
