Hi! I have seen that recently many pull requests designate reviews by writing "@personA review please" or so.
I am personally quite strongly against that, I think it hurts the community work: - The same few people get usually "designated" and will typically get overloaded and often not do the review. - At the same time, this discourages other community members from looking at the pull request, which is totally undesirable. - In general, review participation should be "pull based" (person decides what they want to work on) not "push based" (random person pushes work to another person). Push-based just creates the wrong feeling in a community of volunteers. - In many cases the designated reviews are not the ones most knowledgeable in the code, which is understandable, because how should contributors know whom to tag? Long story short, why don't we just drop that habit? Greetings, Stephan
