Hello, Some patches could wait long for a review where the reviewer is away or not active anymore. This could happen at different stages in the review process. To mitigate this problem, we have implemented a feature for autonag to notify patch authors when their patches are waiting for review from inactive or unavailable reviewers. The bot will needinfo the patch author to suggest finding another reviewer. We hope this will help avoid having patches stalled (becoming irrelevant with time passing) by waiting for a review that has a slim chance to happen. Also, this should speed up the process by encouraging finding an available reviewer if a blocking reviewer is away (e.g., long PTO). The bot will read the availability from Phabricator’s calendar, so keeping yours up to date will be helpful.
We are planning to enable the feature on Monday, July 18th, 2022. You could peek at examples of bugs and bot comments by checking the dry-run results <https://github.com/mozilla/relman-auto-nag/pull/1531#issuecomment-1184712892> . Your feedback is genuinely appreciated.
