2026-02-13 - Community contributions report

This report highlights community merge requests which are either:

• Untriaged: missing a group label and/or type label
• Idle: not updated in 21 days (or 7 days for 1st contribution)

1. For untriaged MRs:
   • Add the group label and/or type label Some group labels are not sufficient (e.g. ~"group::distribution"), and you will need to use the lower level labels such as group::distributionbuild)
   • Consider adding a category label if clear
2. For idle MRs:
   • Take a look at, and/or ask Duo to help you understand the current state and what is needed to move it forward
   • If appropriate, nudge the reviewer in the MR, assign a new reviewer, or reach out in the appropriate Slack channel
   • If the author has been nudged several times, close the MR using the Close idle community merge request comment template or a similar message
3. Check off processed MRs
4. Once you've triaged all the merge requests assigned to you, you can unassign and unsubscribe using the Triage: mark as done & unsubscribe comment template, or by hand:

   /done
   /unassign me
   /unsubscribe

When all the checkboxes are complete, close the issue and celebrate! 🎉
