Hi, It's been more than two months since the CODEOWNERS file has been in place to automatically add reviewers to pull requests. While we have seen the great benefit of having the experts in the matter being automatically assigned as reviewers to each pull request, I have the feeling that the review process is taking longer now. Some possible reasons could be: 1. Some code owners might be getting more reviews than they can cope with and they have become a bottleneck. 2. While prior to this change only two approvals were necessary, with the new process the number of approvals from reviewers required to approve a pull request can be much higher than two, depending on the number of areas touched by the PR.
Again, this might just be my feeling or something incidental and only related to the pull requests I have been working on. In any case, I would like to know if others are experiencing this slowdown in the review of their pull requests. Also, I do not know if there are metrics available for the review process. For example, the average time taken since a pull request is submitted or a change is made on it until there is a review. Having these types of metrics would be very useful because they would allow us to evaluate this mechanism from perspectives other than the quality of the reviews and to propose corrective actions if necessary. Best regards, Alberto
