Reviewer Suggestions

When a merge request opens, it is not always obvious who is the best person to review it. Buzzbin suggests which team members are the best fit to review the changes, based on the repository's history.

How it works​

Buzzbin looks at who has worked on the same areas or changed files before, and suggests a few people as reviewers. The goal is to get the merge request in front of someone already familiar with that code.

Settings​

In Review Config you can control:

  • Enable/disable: turn suggestions off if you don't want them.
  • Number of suggested reviewers: how many people to suggest.
  • Auto-assign: when on, suggested reviewers are added to the merge request automatically; otherwise they are only suggested.
  • Excluded reviewers: members who should never be suggested (for example, people no longer active on the project). This list is set per repository.

Note​

Reviewer suggestions are a help, not a rule. The final decision about who reviews is your team's — you can change or remove the suggested reviewers.
