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.
add on request 'ci help' command via Gerrit

This is doable, but I think experienced users may find this annoying
it ifs too long.
I'm thinking it may be better to have such a message just suggesting
to type something like '@ci help' to get the full help.
It may even be possible to make it clickable with some trickery rather
then just copy-and-paster ready (I will need to check if its possible
to inject links into Gerrit comments).
Apart from that, Roy offered to write a Gerrit plugin that will add
buttons with the various CI commands.
Adding infra-support to get a Jira ticket opened.
