PRs wait and stall when no one picks them up for review. Work that is otherwise ready sits idle because reviewers are focused only on their own changes.
Reviewing is shared work, not something that happens only to your own PRs. When your own work is not blocking you, spend that idle time clearing the queue so ready changes do not wait on attention.
Look for PRs that have no reviewer or are still waiting on one, and give feedback while it still moves the work. A fast review on a ready PR is worth more than a thorough one a day later.
- Idle time is spent reviewing PRs that are waiting for a reviewer
- Feedback is given promptly enough to keep the work moving
