<br>
The conclusion was that<br>
<br>
* We now have a new label "Blocked on Review", which people can add to<br>
merge requests if they are blocked waiting for a review.<br>
* The "Reviewer Group" is taken to be the same as the "GHC Team" (see<br>
<a href="https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc-hq/-/tree/main" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc-hq/-/tree/main</a>), hence people<br>
trusted to be part of the GHC team are expected to perform review as<br>
well.<br>
* We will take up some of the time on the Tuesday meeting by talking<br>
about merge requests which are blocked and assigning them to people<br>
for review.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
