Agreed on the notifications being useful. I don't think there's any point having a team where there aren't any committers. Technically people can leave a review and test the package which I think is useful (not everyone agrees), but it still leaves the PR without anyone to actually push it. > Makes me wonder if any issues or pull requests not covered by any team > should be tagged "no-team" or some such... as they would at least be > searchable that way if someone wanted to do some triage on things likely > to get neglected... (...) At least it would be easy to see them. Steve / Futurile
