Try opening the changes tab for https://invent.kde.org/kde/krita/merge_requests/54. This makes my browser warn me two or three times that the page is using a lot of CPU and it takes ages before it succeeds. > > > * you cannot have more than one reviewer for a MR > > You can have as many reviewers as you want, i guess you mean you can't have > more than one assignee.

Check that MR I linked above and you can figure out yourself how we're using labels. It's the only mechanism we've found that would get close to the workflow needed to pass a MR from "needs review" to "needs changes" to "approved".
