Hello Zoltan, One thing which needs improvement is updating of Hive Contributors wiki with whatever process happens on Github and Build server-side.
The current confluence is silent on what to expect when we create a PR as a contributor, who will review, what will build system do? Where to look for errors? Based on my first PR experience, do you manually label PRs as test stable, unstable etc? I am not sure if that can be automated if not done already along with auto assigning of reviews as you intend to do with this current proposal. I can update a few things based on what I learnt as I recently started contributing and I feel these all things are missing. But there are many things for which I don't know the answer yet and will appreciate if someone experienced update the wiki to add details like above questions.
