Hi,

Today I realized that when we ask for permission to merge [1], we don't usually 
assign the pull request to the person who is supposed to answer. This may not 
be of consequence if thre is just one pull request to look at. But it's not 
uncommon to have half a dozen such pull requests after a suite passed. When the 
person reads her/his mail, a few are addressed and more often than not the rest 
is postponed for when there is time. 

Only they don't show up anywhere in the person list of TODO things, therefore 
it's frequent that we have to send a reminder. Instead, it's probably easier on 
everyone if we assign the pull request to the person next to act in that 
specific case. It's not something I usually do for pull requests that are 
assigned to me, because it's the best way for me to completely forget about 
such pull requests. But in this case, since each pull request is linked to an 
issue and since we scrub these issues at least on a weekly basis, there is no 
risk of us forgetting.

What do you think ?

Cheers

P.S. I did that for all pending hammer pull requests, we'll see if that 
improves things ;-)
