Consider a "pulled based approach" to reviews
I have dropped the idea into a few conversations, but not really raised it formally yet
The current approach to reviews (assigning it to individuals) seems inefficient
A pull based approach could achieve a much faster turnaround and reduce the pressure of being assigned as a reviewer
In its most basic form, we could probably just use the merge request list with label filters workflowready for review and your area of choice (ordered by oldest first):
~frontend::needs review
~frontend::needs maintainer
~backend::needs review
~backend::needs maintainer
etc
Eventually, I would expect more like the stackoverflow style approach where you work an "actual queue".
