Ask HN: How do you manage initiation of code reviews on pull requests on time

Do you share PR links on Slack? Or a dedicated channel? Or DM?

Is there a tool?

Currently, I am looking for a way to not keep PRs open for a long time without having to tag the reviewer in person. Please no AI tools.

    We tag reviewers on Gitlab when needed, usually if the person is on a different team, but also we have a dedicated channel to post MR links and if they don’t get seen within a couple hours we bump the post a few times. When THAT doesn’t work we ping people privately.

    Then do it. Both GitHUb and GitLab have that feature.
