+Try to review in a timely manner; doing so allows everyone involved in the merge
+request to iterate faster as the context is fresh in memory. Further, this
+improves contributors' experiences significantly. Provided full availability;
+reviewing within two work days should be the aim. If you don't think you'll be
+able to review a merge request within that time, let the author know as soon as

Maintainers should check before merging if the merge request is approved by the
required approvers.
