Hello, A Merge Request in GitLab does not necessarily imply the need for a review by e person. It can just run a pipeline to validate that the code isn't broken. If the pipeline fails, the merge button is not available. We use GitLab at work and we have it set up like this: * Main branches

Hi, (Sorry for top-posting) I fear that a mandatory reviews would add too juch strain on smaller teams. If there's just one person with an intimate knowledge of the code-base, plus two co-developers, then who should do the reviews? How about a distinction based on importance of a project

Hi all, We currently have a rather substantial issue, in that the CI system has been once again left in a position where it isn't possible to make any changes to the system. This means we can't update to newer versions of packages, add new packages or correct for binary incompatible changes
