It is better to have some kind of bot that comment on the PR

often a wake up call for people.
Ruby on Rails has something like that for their project.
Although there's a huge unfairness if a reviewer never replies.
Just because a reviewer doesn't reply doesn't mean the problem
(i.e. a bug) goes away. Yes, they're using this for issues.
The whole thing would be much easier if github issues were used
instead of bugzilla -- for one thing, it would automatically
mention it in a pull request (or an issue) if it was mentioned
anywhere in another issue / pull request which makes browsing and
figuring what relates to what much easier (instead of having to
search bugzilla / forum / pull requests here and having three
different places to register things at). Just my 2 cents...
