</span>If github comment threading were more sensible I think I'd prefer to see<br>
the comments reflected. But since it *isn't* (it is pretty much useless<br>
outside of the web UI, and even in the web UI it is often awkward),<br>
I think linking to the PR is indeed probably better.<br>
<br>
Just to confirm, we are talking about a new link summarizing the comment<br>
activity for the past N minutes, whenever commenting activity happens,<br>
right? It would be nice to link directly to the new comments, but somehow<br>
I doubt that is going to be possible (at least if we batch them), so we'll<br>
probably have to settle for just linking the summary to the PR as a whole.<br>
