--- Comment #2 from Prashanth Pai <ppai at redhat.com> ---
Sometimes, there are changes from new contributors which go unnoticed because
no reviewers were added. I've seen Jeff and Amar diligently going through these
new changes without reviewers. There should be a better mechanism for
maintainers to subscribe or notice new incoming changes and this will greatly
help.

Some thoughts on this:

* Github 'suggests' reviewers for PRs based on git blame. The PR author can
choose or ignore to add them as reviewers. If Gerrit can suggest reviewers in
the UI, it'd be great.

* If Gerrit allows, you could check if the potential reviewer (based on git
blame) has had reviewing activity in recent past (to filter out non active
contributors), and then add them as reviewer.
