But, then do you volunteer to maintain these tags? Because since I didn’t see this as a
problem, I’m afraid at least I wouldn’t maintain the tags.

You get the “synchronized” notification on sssd-devel. I’m not sure if you do directly
from github. My personal workflow was to check the PR dashboard for anything without a tag
and consider that as needing review.
But again, I don’t want to impose my workflow for others, if others think this tag makes
sense, let’s try using it.
(btw what about the github workflow document? Should we amend it after some time of using
the new tags?)
Yep, that would be the way to go.

amount of time our downstream tests take, I’m not even sure how to integrate them with the

nightly scan PRs that have neither “pass” or “fail” tag, bundle those up in an RPM, run
the nightly tests and report back using a tag.
