It was originally "Why this 'well-kept' secret for programmers is suddenly popping up in the Fortune 500", I shortened it by removing the "popping it". Sorry for the inconvenience.
I've read other people's gripes, but I have none of my own yet. Thanks very much GitLab team.
the fact that GitLab is used by Fortune 500 companies is not news to me - totally expected and natural.
(Apologies if this comes across as overly negative, I use Gitlab all day every day and it's a great tool)
Coming up we will add the ability to revert merges [0]. We're also working on redoing the UI of MRs (and much of the rest of the app) and have someone working fulltime on performance now, which will also help here.
What would you like to see improved? Very curious to hear.
- Currently the only way for someone to indicate that a merge request is good to merge is by contacting them outside of Gitlab or doing the upvote on the MR, which fascinatingly is only possible by commenting with a :+1: thumbs up
- Also multiple assignees on MRs
- Ability for anyone to add labels to an MR, not just the assignee
- On the index page listing MR's I've often felt like a solid improvement would be to show both author and assignee. I think Gitlab has alternated between one or the other a few times on this page but both seem to me to be pertinent information.
Creating an issue for this and scheduling it. I agree we need this for diffs => issue here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/3292
> Also multiple assignees on MRs
We solved this with the 'approvers' feature. We still want to only have a single assignee, as only a single person can click 'merge'.
> Ability for anyone to add labels to an MR, not just the assignee
This should be anyone with editing rights to the MR, such as masters. We're improving the UX to make this easier in GitLab 8.2 or 8.3 (also creating labels on the fly and quickly adding more).

Currently both are shown: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests
One is inline, the other as icon. Let me know how you think we can further improve this.
