On larger hosts we could not really convince teams to use the first name
feature, because there will always be some first names that are
ambiguous.
Adding the initial letter of the second name for disambiguation was not
visually appealing enough. Shortening the full name seems the more
appropriate solution.
"First names" had two primary goals: A dense reviewers column on the
dashboard. And saving vertical space on the change page in the
reviewers section.
We will continue to use first names for the reviewer column only, but
not anywhere else. We may re-evaluate how to render the reviewers
column specifically, but this should not affect the entire application.
On the change page we have tweaked the max-width of account chips such
that two reviewer chips will fit next to each other, even when using
full names. The overall width of the metadata column has grown a few
pixels for that.
Also included in this change:
- Adding attention set related utility methods to account-util.
- Tweaking the length of the account label in other places.
- Making sure that the submit requirements component does not
increase the width of the metadata column too much as currently
very often seen on android-review.
