No way to give answers to reviews/ratings

[Emmanuel Thomas-Maurin]

(Not a bug, rather a feature suggestion.)

It would be useful to be able to answer some reviews or to offer the reviewer the ability to easily generate a bug report from his comment. For instance, if a reviewer don't know how to use a certain feature of the software, it could be useful to be able to give this information after his comment. And, if a reviewer reports a broken feature, it could be useful as well to have this information sent to the upstream dev.

The idea is to use constructively negative feedback from users.

Whoops, hit that by accident.

Hi Logan, and thank you for your suggestion. I have set this as a wishlist item so that we can track it when planning/implementing enhancements and new features. I have also set it as triaged since I think we have enough information to move to the next step, which is to do the details UI design.

Many thanks for your help!

The design for this feature is already done. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter/RatingsAndReviews#replying> To start with at least, it will be restricted just to the application developer. Replying as anyone else wouldn't be as useful, though we might want to introduce it if/when we get an order of magnitude more reviews than we have now.

It seems that it is not fixed yet.
