On: Add Reactions to Pull Requests, Issues, and Comments

[mayank]

Considering that it's Github, how about things relevant to software engineering, like: agree, disagree, support, insightful, obsolete, misleading. I can't imagine it being helpful to know that someone felt "heart" about an issue comment.

Heart is probably a supersized +1 for pull requests and a nod to Aaron Peterson.

who is aaron peterson? Googling that name results in a photographer,a lawyer and a bunch of doctors.

Perhaps he meant Aaron Patterson (https://github.com/tenderlove) "tenderlove"? Not sure.

[eric_h → dfc]

aaron patterson, aka @tenderlove. rails and ruby core contributor.

[edit: at least that's who I presume the GP meant]

[robszumski → mayank]

this was my initial reaction is well. It seems like this will just add to the noise and not help large open source projects get work done.
