I don’t think you can request reviewers, only re-request once a review is
done. I have a couple of open PRs myself, what I tend to do is mention/ping
committers and hope for a response. Most of the time you get one but it is
difficult to keep track I can imagine. But you would have to know who to
ping, who is actively watching, who knows most about a plug-in, etc. I
personally don’t want to keep pinging as it feels a bit rude/impatient to
me.

It would be nice if we can figure out a workflow for this to improve
contributions from non-commiters that works for both sides. I currently
think it’s easier to start due to the move to GitHub but requires some
thoughts on making it smoother to review and merge.

WDYT?

Giovanni van der Schelde
