        <title>Introduce semantic parsing in Line Impact calculation</title>

        <content type="text/plain">This is already done to some extent, but here are a few ways in which interpreting code semantically could improve the approximation of dev cognitive effort. This list showcases examples of when making a specific change to the code *requires* another follow-up change. Usually, the follow-up change is complementary, but does not act in any way to evolve the codebase (not more than the initial change did).&#13;
&#13;
Examples:&#13;
1. Adding another potential type to an object (should get all Line Impact) vs adding an "else" branch in the section of the code verifying that type&#13;
2. Acquiring a synchronization-type object vs releasing it&#13;
3. More generally, any resources that need symmetric operations, such as allocating memory in C&#13;
4. Extending the db schema of an object to house another column (vs adding that new property to trivial API/method calls on other layers of the app)&#13;
5. Creating a new type of Error object/event vs "catching" it in all invocations of the error-triggering code</content>

        <title>Show impact of comments left on pull requests</title>

        <content type="text/plain">Current PR stats talk about the volume of comments, but they don't offer much signal to differentiate whether the comments being received are *useful* or distracting? If GitClear could measure Line Impact from commits that occurred in response to PR comments, that could provide a useful lens to glean whether the comments the user leaves are resulting in positive directions.</content>

        <title>Release Tracking - Regex Capability for Branch Names</title>
        <link href="https://gitclear.featureupvote.com/suggestions/224032/release-tracking-regex-capability-for-branch-names"/>

        <updated>2023-03-03T12:56:58Z</updated>
        <content type="text/plain">Under the "Release Tracking Section" add an option to submit a Regex to identify release branches.&#13;
&#13;
Ex: Organization use the Git-Flow (AVH) and Release branches are all prefixed with "Release/"&#13;
 or "release/" &#13;
&#13;
Having a regex for this instead of a commit message or tag would be beneficial!</content>

If you could just display line impact in a sorted list by user that would be very helpful&#13;
&#13;
Past Month / Week / Date range, etc.&#13;
&#13;
1. - Sam Hamilton - 759 Line impact per day&#13;
2. - Roger Fredler - 559 Line impact per day&#13;
3. - Roc Vandler - 239 line impact per day.&#13;

        <content type="text/plain">GitClear's Commit Activity Browser already allows viewing arbitrarily grouped commits with responses and follow-up action. It wouldn't be much more work to create a full-blown PR review tool that could track what code was previously viewed and only show authentically new work authored since last pull request review.</content>
