Hi,

I would prefer the integrated idea and could help to concrete it.

Posting a review template once a pull request created. This is regarded as
the formal process reviews to follow. Posting a checklist in form and make
it editable for maintainer.

[ ] Reach consensus
[ ] Implementation architectural
[ ] Code quality admired
( can with more check item and description if needed )

When the process go ahead, maintainer, i.e., committers SHOULD update the
checklist, and SUGGESTED to add a label to mark the stage. Ideally when
stage changed, maintainer/committer add a corresponding comment to explain
it. Of course when things are obvious, some works could be omit.

Best,
tison.
