I like that we are being clear with our checklist, but we risk getting so
long it is not read or understood. So any change I would like to be shorter:

For reference:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/blob/main/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md

Consider changing:

*Reviewing is a process done by project maintainers, mostly on a volunteer
basis. We try to keep the overhead as small as possible and appreciate if
you help us to do so by completing the following items. Feel free to ask in
a comment if you have troubles with any of them.*

Consider changing:

*Thanks for contributing to GeoServer. To respect your time we have a
checklist to keep review/feedback/approval as efficient as possible.
Project maintainers have limited (mostly volunteer) time and you are asked
to revise your PR promptly based on feedback provided.*

* We set PR review/feedback/approval to be efficient (low overhead) as
everyone is doing most on a volunteer basis.*
