Suggestion to add two more options to LP MP page
Hello, this is more a suggestion than a question.
I recently created a MP for a package update:
https:/
and while working on that (with my Sponsor) the following two things came up:
1) While reading some docs one can find that two reviews are needed, but it turned out that in this particular case only one was sufficient; but I already created an entry for a 2nd review before I noticed that.
"Canonical Server Core Reviewers 2021-01-08 Pending"
But there is no way to get a request for review deleted or canceled (at least not from my page view).
It would be nice to have an option that allows to cancel/delete a request for review.
2) In addition it would be nice to have an option at the MP page
(https:/
that allows to directly sent a notification to a Sponsor (that incl. all needed information, like commit Id etc.)
(of course not mandatory, since not everybody needs a Sponsor)
I think that would help to streamline the MP process a bit at least for newbies (since it's complex enough).
Just two suggestions that came to the mind of a novice (maybe there are reasons against it that I don't see ...)
Bye, Frank

If you want a code change, you'll need to report this as a bug, not as a question.
For 2), why wouldn't you just add your sponsor as a reviewer, or send it to them out of band? I don't think "sponsor" needs to be a distinguished role from the point of view of LP code reviews.

Regarding 2)
I planned to have someone else as a Sponsor, but Sergio just picked the MP up and reviewed it (what I appreciated) and he indeed became also the Sponsor for this.
But I think that Sponsor and Reviewer are not necessarily always the same person - but if so such an option would not really be needed...
The two topics were just thoughts and suggestions.
I'll mark this as answered and think about opening a bug for canceling/
Thx, Frank
