Allow reviewers to hand-off MR to authors
Release notes
This is a follow-up to shipping this recently: #293933 (closed)
Problem to solve
The recently shipped feature (#293933 (closed)) relies on the usage of MR Reviews (publishing) to mark a review "complete".
Sometimes, the review warrants no code comment. That leaves no way for the Reviewer to mark his review as complete.
Intended users
- Merge Request Reviewers
User experience goal
Allows an explicit handoff on individual reviews, shown only to the specific reviewer.
Proposal
Several options, to be determined by UX:
- Add a button in the place where "re-request a review" will show up (See design with a mockup proposal, submitted in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/296617#note_480567373)
or
- Add a checkbox to each comment box to "mark my review as complete"
Further details
It's important to distinguish between "Complete" and "Approval". (see #292936 (closed))
