Research direction

The request covers the code viewer and commit-diff views, with line-level discussion threads, Git-blame-based author notification, and hidden comment indicators. Start by locating those existing views and their notification paths; done would require a settled scope for the discussion experience and email behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It would be nice to be able to discuss a change (like on Github) and a line (in the code viewer, by simply having some button like "Start discussion" at the side).

In the latter case, it would be nice to notify (via email or alike) the user who wrote the code in the first place (say à la "git blame") via email for instance.

The discussion thread could be shown at the side of the code (at the left) and hidden by default, showing only a small icon or someway highlighting the affected LoC
