Request for Missy Davies to become a Merge Request Coach

Why you want to become a Merge Request Coach?

I came from the community! The MR Coach was always my first interaction on an MR. I always had a really positive experience where even if someone didn't know how to help immediately, they were extraordinarily happy, grateful, and helpful in finding someone to take over.

How much time you are planning to spend on it?

I could do a few reviews per week! I'm not sure how much time is required, but I would love to give back the time I took (gifted?) from MR coaches in the past.

Which duties you are focusing on (e.g. triage, finish stale MRs)?

I'm happy to focus on what's needed, but I'm most jazzed to:

• "Help contributors to get their merge requests to meet the contribution acceptance criteria."
• "Make it easy to contribute to GitLab even for people who are new to Ruby"
• "Triage merge requests"
