Add ability to add comment on merge request file at line number via API
I would like the ability to add comment to a specific line number of file that is part of merge request via the api.
The use case I personally see is an automated system that builds the merge request (something like jenkins) and then runs a static code analysis, and then leaves comments on the specific line numbers of the files in the merge request. For instance with sonar you can do an incremental code analysis that will give you just the new issues it found, with the necessary information to identify the file, and the specific line number.
This would in turn help automate portions of the code review process, since before another dev even looks at the code, the submitter would see potential issues that they can then fix and push changes for.
Activity
Just as a note, I would not be opposed to coding this my self, I just opened it as an issue first to open the discussion to see if it is something that would be considered acceptable, and for any pointers to how the team thinks it should ideally be structured. In my day to day work, this would help to automate and simply my workflow for projects I work on.
