I just removed r? on all the bugs in http://webkit.org/pending-review that had requested review in 2018 or before and had been untouched since then. I imagine that did not interrupt anyone’s work. I was thinking of removing review requests on bugs that hadn’t been updated in one full year to maintain the usefulness of the review queue. Does anyone have any strong opinions that that is too much time or too little time? Most reviews are done in a few days or weeks, but occasionally something useful sits in the review queue for a few months.
$0.02: Removing the flag acts as a nice reminder: "hey, you need to find a reviewer for this patch!" So the sooner the better IMO. If we were to automate this, I would do a warning comment after one month, then strip r? after two months. Something like that. /$0.02
