Does every PR have to be reviewed by you or can members of the core development team review each other's PRs?

I have no experience with Discourse but it seems to be the best forum software out there. I did some investigation for such a software some time ago and Discourse seemed to be the best choice.

Would you host the instance somewhere yourself or let somebody else do the hosting? I'm just thinking about the obligations which come with hosting such a platform. An option would be to not migrate the user accounts but to ask users to register at the new forum if interested - that would also clean up the userbase.
