[flang-dev] [llvm-dev] [cfe-dev] [RFC] Deprecate email code reviews in favor of Phabricator

[Christian Kühnel via flang-dev]

Hi Martin,

I don't mind formalizing that reviews are done on phabricator only.

Having your own, custom Herald rules is always superior to general rules
for a project. They are naturally targeted towards your use cases. However
I wanted to offer a proper email integration for all users without having
to write their own rules. So the idea was to offer a "similar enough"
alternative for the XXX-commits mailing lists.

I just checked your rules [1] and you add yourself to the list of
subscribers for certain revisions. For these notifications you should be on
the "TO" section of the email, right?

 The emails going through the project [1] are sent as CC to me. There is a
ton of header attributes that could be used for filtering:

X-Phabricator-Cc: <PHID-PROJ-6nrw7h47scgenrj2njpx>

X-Herald-Rules: <74>, <368>, <665>, <667>, <671>, 700>, <576>, <615>, <770>

X-Phabricator-Stamps: actor(@bruno) application(Differential)
> author(@bruno) herald(H74) herald(H368) herald(H576) herald(H615)
> herald(H665) herald(H667) herald(H671) herald(H700) herald(H770)
> monogram(D99434) object-type(DREV) phid(PHID-DREV-6ivftbt7xso57bvmy2br)
> reviewer(@aralisza) reviewer(@delcypher) reviewer(@dvyukov)
> reviewer(@kubamracek) reviewer(@vitalybuka) reviewer(@yln)
> revision-status(needs-review) subscriber(@hoy) subscriber(@jfb)
> subscriber(@kubamracek) subscriber(@llvm-commits) subscriber(@lxfind)
> subscriber(@modimo) subscriber(@rjmccall) subscriber(@t.p.northover)
> subscriber(@wenlei) tag(#llvm) via(web)


Do you think this is good enough for filtering?
