I review my own PRs regularly. It’s how I talk through all my changes with meaningful inline comment threads. I prefer the behaviour you’re commenting about because I want to do those things in a “review” rather than pollute inboxes with one-off comments.

I think the main issue is that everyone has their happy paths through review, but those aren’t everyone’s happy paths. It’s why I like that having a variety of tools is possible. GitHub likely has to bias towards the beige middle ground that suits everyone well enough.

I’m talking about replies to other people’s comments. If someone asks you a question in a review, it seems crazy to me that you should submit your own review of your own code, complete with an approval (huh?) just to answer it.

If you’re saying it’s better to batch together multiple replies to multiple people’s comments at once, fine, but that’s not a “review”. Why should you have to “approve” your own code (what does that even mean?) to do this?
