Comment on Github reviews as a way to improve code quality?parent

Comments

I like this idea. Software changes over time, so I always have to double-check the date when reading other people's reviews. Especially if the software is developed at a very fast rate, such as Redis.

Another option would be to provide a history of average star ratings, similar to the 52-week activity graph. Then people would be able to see, for example, that most reviews have turned positive since the v2.5 release, etc. Tie reviews to versions and/or commits, and allow people to post another review after X weeks, so that the same person can post different reviews of different versions of the same program.
