It is currently possible to upload draft patch sets to non-draft changes in gerrit. Hence for changes, where the most recent patch set is a draft, no submit button is shown, which causes confusion for users. Especially, for those who could submit but cannot see drafts. Such users cannot easily identify that the (non-visible) most recent (draft) patch set is prohibiting the submission. Do we use the possibility of submitting draft patch sets to non-draft changes. If so, is it worth the trouble it is causing for reviewers?
Change 72149 had a related patch set uploaded by QChris: Prohibit uploading draft patch sets to non-draft changes https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/72149
Upstream says that uploading draft changes to non-draft changes is a feature, although it for example mangles Submit Type, and gives stream events consumers (Jenkins, ...) a hard time to detect when a patch set is a draft and when it's not.
(In reply to comment #2) > Upstream says that uploading draft changes to non-draft changes is a feature, Upstream isn't allowed to have opinions on drafts anymore. Completely useless feature...wish it just didn't exist.
