Description
Currently, the behavior of @bors is that whenever you @bors r+ or @bors r=UserFooBar, the reviewer doesn't change. However, this makes it less clear who the current reviewer is. For example, the assignee might not have even looked at the PR before someone else has r+ed it. I believe having an up to date assignee more frequently would simplify triage. Also, as @pnkfelix noted:
if one steals review action, it certainly seems like one should take on the burden of assignment as well.
While one could r? @Centril @bors r+ and such all the time, people often forget this and it instead causes churn to do so manually. As an example, there's #59468.
Instead, I propose that:
- Whenever you
r+a PR, you get r? as well. - If you
r=UserFooBar, and @UserFooBar is not assigned, then they will be assigned.
The tagged teams are those that typically use @bors in this repo or perform triage and who will therefore be affected by this policy.
