Yes, IIRC Jonas will need to give you a level of access so you can 
comment and change labels of MRs (i.e. move MRs from Patch::review to 
Patch::push etc).

Yes, if you hover over the middle tick it says 'tests passed'. Click it 
and you get taken to a console window where you can see a URL link near 
the end of the build output that, when clicked, takes you to the reg 
test diffs (if there are any). The back button works OK in gitlab to 
take you back to the MR comment section.

I don't bother clicking on the other '2 ticks' (build and doc) but if 
for example the first two pass and the third (documentation) fail then I 
don't bother even looking at the reg tests as all builds need three 
green ticks to progress as a bare minimum.
