But alas then it does not form part of the review, landing as a single email. It becomes a separate, disconnected comment.
Right, while code comments are transactional unfortunately "discussion" comments are currently not. I'm not sure there are currently plans to change this. Another issue is that apparently GitLab still sends one email per comment instead of one comment per batch. This will evidently be fixed in GitLab 11.6 [1].
