Find out which Git/Gerrit code repositories deployed on WMF sites have no reviewers/watchers in Gerrit?
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Just a wild idea, might decline at some point.
Plus the problem to solve beforehand might be to make reviewers read their Gerrit notifications (which might require reducing them) or make teams have a workflow (establish dashboards?) that makes them 'check' their projects regularly?

This! I think it would help if people could more easily filter emails that are created because they have been added as reviewer vs. all other Gerrit emails (somebody has merged stuff, added as CC-only, comments from other reviewers etc).

My personal way to handle it that i would recommend to others: disable/disregard all Gerrit emails but start a habit of looking at the Gerrit web UI / incoming review queue every day / on a regular basis.

Very good points, thanks. My underlying assumption that all/most people use mail as a Gerrit To-do workflow is wrong, so I'm declining this task as investigating won't solve real problems.
