If you are in a [designated role](#roles), add yourself as an "Assignee" to a PR if you plan to lead the review.
If you are a Reviewer or below, then once you have approved a PR, request a review from one or more Approvers and above.

#### Timeliness

PR authors and reviewers are expected to respond to change requests in PRs in a reasonable time frame.
If an author or reviewer is on vacation or will otherwise be unavailable, this should be communicated on the PR.

##### PR Author Timeliness

If a PR appears stalled because of no activity for 10 business days by the author, another person may request to take over the PR.
This should be indicated on the original PR with a comment tagging the author to inquire about their plan to finish the PR.
Maintainers may use reasonable judgment to reassign the PR to a new contributor if no plan is provided by the author.
A PR which has been stalled for 3 months may be taken over immediately without requiring this approval process.
**IMPORTANT:** If a PR is taken over and uses any code from the previous PR, the original author must be credited using `Co-authored-by` on the commits.

#### Triaging Bugs

New bugs need to be triaged to identify the highest priority ones.
