Requests for collaboration / blockers
- It’s time consuming to keep checking when a PR needs to be updated, because it’s currently one can’t anticipate when a reviewer would come to review it… I know this probably might not be an issue when maintainer pilot in place? if this is a temp issue then I am okay with it, if not then I hope eventually there would be a mechanism where PR author would expect a reviewer to review it at X time… (Ghassan Maslamani)

Activity & reporting
Btw, the response rate for core contributors checkins hovers at 40% - so if you are core contributor and don’t fill it, please do! It really only takes 5-10 minutes, and it allows to keep everyone informed of what we are doing.
And if the reason you don’t fill it is because you aren’t able to find time to contribute, reach out! Organizations have committed to give their core contributors, if you don’t get that time we can start a discussion with your organization, to help you get that dedicated time.
All the details can be found on the Listaflow report.
