This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: Using pull requests in Bitbucket Server
I would like to know if a pull-request author can also be a pull-request reviewer.
It seems that I cannot add myself as reviewer when I create a pull-request.
You cannot. That beats the purpose of a review
Maybe it be usefull for dissociative identity disorder.
Is there a reason you'd find this useful, Laurent? We assume that when someone creates a pull request for others to review that they already approve of their own changes, else they would keep working on them before creating a pull request.
Here is the use-case:
The PR author may add something to the pull request and wish for someone else to review it. Excluding the PR author from the initial auto-reviewers (default reviewers) makes sense. Not allowing to manually add the PR author to the list of reviewers is unnecessarily limiting.
In what way(s) do you find it limiting in practice, @Derrick Slopey ?
The use-case we would like to address is where we have a long-lasting branch on which we merge small branch. The PR based on the long-lasting branch is created by a member of the Team and we would like to allow this member to contribute to the review.
For now, we managed to work around the limitation by changing the way we work.
