I find it ironic that github PR, that are supposed to be here to help collaboration are actually very individualistic in some way.
It really put the burden on the submitter instead on of the group because on how single "threaded" it is.
I would really like to be able to make proposition on the PR as suggestions for the submitter or for the group instead on only having review possibilities or pushing directly on they PR.
PR should be a discussion place, not a submission place.
@braulio a discussion with code, not only words, I can't easily suggest a code modification within another git branch (or I can do a PR of a PR but that' super clumsy), same for other member of the project, so it ends up only being "words" discussion while it should be a "code" discussion.
I very often just want to *propose* another (or a lot of other) commits to this PR, but my only solutions are:
- PR of PR (sucks)
- pushing directly on the branch, which can diplomatically sucks
@braulio and git is totally fitted for that, that's just the API that sucks.
So, in the end, most of the time all the burden ends up on the submitter and the receiver ack as some king of "client" that just says "yes/no/change that" instead of programming with the submitter and I think that this totally sucks, I don't want to have this position.
