Draft: Add Smriti as database reviewer: Smriti Garg

Thanks for your interest in becoming a database reviewer! Database reviewers are like backend reviewers but with a special focus on the database. As a result, there are some special challenges they may face in the course of their necessary work.

Before becoming a database reviewer, we ask that you complete the following steps to be sure you're prepared!

New reviewer tasks

• Change merge request to include your name: Add Database Reviewer: Your Name
• Review general code review guidelines
• Familiarize yourself with how to review for database
• Read Understanding EXPLAIN plans
• Read up on what to do if you're feeling overwhelmed by database reviews
• Make sure you have access to database lab reports in postges.ai. If there are no instances listed, file an access request for postgres.ai access.
• Mention the database team manager for awareness
• Assign the issue to your manager to merge

Note that approving and accepting merge requests is restricted to Database Maintainers only. As a reviewer, pass the MR to a maintainer for approval.
