In section 1.3 of the CG ('Summary for experienced developers') we

2. A Merge Request is usually automatically tested within an hour
of submission. Once it has passed the basic tests – ‘make
check’, ‘make’, ‘make doc’ – the tracker will be updated and
the patch’s status will change to ‘Patch::review’ for other
developers to examine.
However, this automatic tracker update doesn't happen currently; we
have to set 'Patch::review' manually.
Does gitlab support such an automatical setting of a label? If yes,
it would be great if this can be (re)activated. Otherwise we have to
update the documentation...

FWIW, I have been checking Patch::New and advancing MRs to Review
manually, per CG 3.3.2, which is a more explicit presentation of CG
1.3. It's gratifying but quite rare that I catch anything in reg tests
at the New stage. The wording of CG 1.3 implies eliminating the New
stage, which might not be a bad thing: New and Review aren't that
different, really.
