[JIRA] (OVIRT-1193) add on request 'ci help' command via Gerrit

[Martin Sivak (oVirt JIRA)]

    [ https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-1193?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=27883#comment-27883 ] 

Martin Sivak commented on OVIRT-1193:
-------------------------------------

Eyal, it was my request inspired by Kubernetes. One message per changeset (first comment) is hardly obtrusive and it can provide customized links for the patchset (real links with proper IDs instead of just a generic help message).

Please realize that we want to have as low barrier of entry as possible, so everything has to be immediately obvious from the first message (either a direct link or copy/paste command). There are also people who do not really use the UI too much (we get all the comments using email too) so UI improvement does not solve it for those cases.

But feel free to do a survey.
