Description Anton McConville

Tried adding Simon to 'ask for review' of a recent commit - just to see what would happen.

I tried his full name, his first name, his bugzilla ID, but none were found.

I'd suggest that if the software can tell me if a suggested name isn't acceptable to it, it could instead suggest to me the names that are acceptable.

So - maybe adding a drop down selection to 'ask for review' would help

Right, I was discussing using a dropdown with my GSoC student. Just had no time to accomplish that. For now you need to use the Orion id (for instance "sbrandys") or go to "More" and copy/paste the review link to Bugzilla or mail.

Moreover, if there are more projects hosted on Orion server, there should be a way to narrow list of reviewers based on a project. Maybe people should declare to what project they contribute or something like that?

I was one of the first people who liked to try this at very beginning. But this issue made me give up.

Guys, is it really that hard to just copy and paste the link to Bugzilla? Even if you do not know the Orion user name, you can just copy/paste the link...

Where do you get the link after you get the "user not found" message?

Click more on the slideout. You will see a dialog with the link.
