Project:Reviewers/Internal policy

This document lists the policies which Reviewers team members are ought to follow.

Review platforms
The Reviewers project members review:


 * pull requests and commits on the GitHub repository mirror (if commit author actively uses GitHub),
 * commits done to the repository, by replying to gentoo-commits mails,
 * requested ebuilds pasted on Gentoo Bugzilla, IRC and Gentoo Forums.

The review should be done most efficiently to avoid 'spamming' the contributor unnecessarily. In case of review-by-mail, the review should be only directed to the affected parties, unless it can be useful to a wider audience. In the latter case, it may be a good idea to send a single mail to gentoo-dev mailing list as an example of common issue and a sufficient explanation.
