UI/UX Improvements For the Redesigned Request Page

So, we’re back working on the redesigned Request page with some improvements.

We started the redesign of the request workflow in August 2022. Then, in September 2022, we focused on the support of multi-action submit requests. We continued in October 2022 with improvements regarding the Build Results tab and superseded conversations, and we presented build results with a pinch of salt in November 2022. In January 2023, we worked on facilitating the review process. In February 2023 we enhanced the review process with comments on changes. Later, in April 2023, we focused on improving the comments on changes and supporting new types of actions. In June 2023 we worked on maintenance action types. In July 2023 we introduced Set Bugowner action and diff comments for non-beta users. In September 2023 we focused on Build Results Summary Gets Into Shape. Later 2023, in November, we added the Build Status Refresh and Other Insights on Our Request Page. The year 2024 started with Revamping the Request Build Status Page and Introducing the Dark Mode. We continued in February with Build Results Summary Chart Links to Build Results Overview and in April with Improvements On the Redesigned Request Page. In 2025 we worked again on the Request Page by improving UI/UX aspects

Show relevant build results by default

When looking at the build results of a Requests, now by default disabled/excluded/unknown build status are not selected in the filters, so they are not visible at the first glance, leaving space and highlight to the rest of the build results.

Showing details of the role of who took decision for a Review

When someone takes a decision for a review accepting or declining it, they can do it for being a package maintainer, a group, etc. In the conversation, the statement of the review reports now who did it and the role they played by doing it.
