Differential notification emails lack headers for repository and state change
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Reported upstream as https://secure.phabricator.com/T9891

The notification emails lacks headers representing the project a patch is made against as well as metadata for what the mail is about. As a result, when watching several repositories, there is no good way to filter them in different folders.

An example for a revision creation. The mail shows:

dduvall added a task: T117131: Include architectural overview in scap3 documentation.
dduvall created this revision.
dduvall added a reviewer: mobrovac.
Herald added a reviewer: Release-Engineering-Team.

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.

Looks good to me but I'm not sure how to test

In Gerrit, the repository is mentioned with the standard List-Id header such as:
List-Id: <gerrit-mediawiki-extensions-MultimediaViewer.gerrit.wikimedia.org>

And an indication about the type of notification which let one highlight them with different colors:

X-Gerrit-MessageType: abandon
X-Gerrit-MessageType: comment
X-Gerrit-MessageType: merged

After reading Evan's reply upstream again (https://secure.phabricator.com/T9891#146631) I don't think this should be a hard blocker for migrating. It's still a valid request in Differential, though.
