Consider adding support for block comments
Problem to solve
When reviewing a merge request, the reviewer is able to place comments on individual lines. However, commenting a block of text is not possible so far.
Intended users
Further details
Sometimes, it is not clear that the one-line comment refers to the whole block. Therefore, the reviewer always has to mention the relevant line numbers manually in the comment message. It would be nice if this would be supported out-of-the box without manual and error-prone interaction.
Proposal
A solution which has a similar usage as in https://www.reviewboard.org/ would be nice
Permissions and Security
Normal reviewer permissions.
Documentation
needs to be updated
Testing
no risks
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
Block comments are supported and clearly visible in the UI.
