PR Review Workflow

  • Dev Team goes through PR queue
    • If the maintainer has the time can review/merge/leave feedback
    • if the maintainer doesn’t have the time but can Sanity check tags “needs-final-review”, or “not-useful” and close
  • Add @DonLakeFlyer as a reviewer whenever there’s an urgent need or something is not clear
