I copied this text from https://github.com/jashkenas/backbone/issues/4268, so if you recognize it, that is not a coincidence.

I have taken on the burden of maintaining Underscore. I also happen to believe that ideally, each code change should be reviewed by somebody other than the author.

When somebody else submits a pull request (please do!), I can obviously review it. When I submit a pull request myself (which I do a lot), it is not so obvious who might review it.

So far, I've been blindly @mentioning people who I thought (or hoped) might be interested in reviewing. I now feel that this pattern is not sustainable; I will miss people who are interested and annoy people who are not. Instead, I would like to actually know which people are interested in reviewing.

Of course, I'm hoping that expert contributors are interested, but non-expert reviewers are welcome, too. The more reviewers, the better.

  • If you are interested in reviewing and you are already watching the repo so you will be aware of new pull requests, please leave a .
  • If you are interested in reviewing and you would like to be @mentioned to draw your attention, leave a .
  • If you welcome formal review requests (so you see "review requested" in your GitHub notifications), leave a ❤️. If you opt-in for this, please also leave a comment to let me know what you consider an acceptable frequency and how quickly you expect to be able to respond (on average).
  • If you just feel like voting, leave a .

Text replies for other reasons also welcome, of course.
