Author: intrigeri Date: To: The Tails public development discussion list Subject: [Tails-dev] Proposal: use the "Reviewer" field in GitLab MRs
Hi,
A few months ago, GitLab Inc. open-sourced the "Reviewer" feature for
Merge Requests.
This allows keeping track _independently_ of:
- Who's responsible for bringing the MR to completion: the Assignee.
- Who's responsible for reviewing the MR: the Reviewer.
Some teams have been experimenting with this workflow in the last
months, instead of our previous — and still documented — workflow in
which we would assign a MR to its Reviewer. The feedback that came my
way has been entirely positive so far.
I think it's now time to make a decision and adjust either our
documented process or our actual practices to match it.
I propose we start using the "Reviewer" field in MRs, as described
above and in the GitLab documentation.
Any issue with that?
Please share your thoughts by April 20.
I'll update our doc once we're reached a conclusion, whichever it is.
