Welcome to the Splat alpha!

Actual should have said "The new review request <strike>should not be</strike> is
listed."

Sorry about that. Wish the ticket form had a "preview" button.

I'm not going to WontFix this just yet, as I'm willing to open this for debate, but
it's likely that we're not going to change this behavior. Incoming is to anything
going to you directly or to a group you're in. You're seeing it because you're in the
group.

Actually, I find that I use Incoming (as it's the default dashboard view) to see not
only other review requests I need to review but also to see a brief status of my own
review requests without having to switch back and forth between Incoming and
Outgoing. Pretty sure this is common usage, and changing this will likely disrupt the
workflow that many people use.

Thanks, chipx86. Here are some more reasons:

Isn't seeing such a mixed list the purpose of the "All My Requests" tab? Similarly,
if I'm interested in my own review requests but not others', isn't that what the
"Outgoing" tab is for?

For me, my own review requests are pure noise when the appear in the "Incoming" list.
Imho, the point of the "Incoming" tab is to draw my attention to everything that
needs it. My own review requests are a distraction, because if I ever felt that I
should have done a change differently, I wouldn't need to make a recommendation to
myself to do it. I'd just go ahead an implement the improvement (and possibly ask
others to review the subsequent change).

Also, if I have no pending review requests, I want that list to be empty so I can
quickly tell that nothing requires my attention. Instead, I have to scan through the
list only to notice that everything there was sent from me.

It's typically the case that one is in a group that one sends a review request to,
which means your own reviews practically always show up in your "Incoming" tab
whenever you use the "Groups" field. On the other hand, if you send a review request
to a bunch of individuals (usually a subset of your teammates), the review request
will not appear in the "Incoming" tab (unless you made the mistake of sending the
review request to yourself). This seems like an arbitrary distinction for determining
which of my review requests will show up in my "Incoming" tab.

Looking at my previous comment, the point of my last paragraph isn't really coming
through: regardless of whether you want it, your own review requests will show up
under "Incoming" if you use the "Groups" field. If you really want your review
request to show up there, it should be pretty easy to force it by list yourself as an
individual reviewer. Showing up in the "Incoming" tab should not be the default
behavior when you list a group that you happen to be a member of, as is typical when
groups correspond to teams, and you want someone on your own team to look at your
changes.

I don't think it should be a defect, maybe an enhancement. But I prefer the current
behavior.

Seeing as there's a lot of argument both ways, and a lot of people are happy with the current behavior (more than just lonico), I don't think it makes sense to change it just for the sake of changing it.

At this point, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of support for my idea, but to be clear, I'm not asking for change "just for the sake of changing it". I still think this would be a valuable improvement, even if there aren't too many others advocating for it.
