Situation

Suggestions are a good way to do code review, however, when having more complex scenarios (#29700, #537531, #521929, #454339, etc.), they have their shortcomings

Solution

Don't create suggestions as comments but

• Create a new branch
  • if it's the reviewers first suggestion
  • or if the reviewer wants to start a new set of conflicting changes
• Create commit on said branch
• Link the commit to the comment/MR in the UI
• When applying the suggested change, the assignee might be offered two options:
  • Cherry-pick the specific commit
  • Merge the whole branch into the MR's branch

Benefits

• ✅ Author, co-author, and committer information is correctly tracked via git (#526258)
• ✅ Commit message is correctly tracked via git (#518632)
• ✅ Pipelines would run for each suggestion (#35572)
