FAQPage Schema
How do I identify which GitHub pull requests need maintainer review?▼

To identify pull requests needing maintainer review, you filter open non-draft PRs by analyzing CI status, review history, and author activity. This process isolates PRs with passing CI and pending maintainer action, distinguishing them from author-blocked contributions.

What is the best way to automate PR triage for stalling code reviews?▼

Automating PR triage for stalling code reviews involves querying repository metadata to evaluate PR state transitions. By distinguishing between author-blocked and maintainer-blocked PRs through commit timelines, you prevent active contributions from being overlooked.

Does automated pull request triage work with GitHub CLI?▼

Yes, automated pull request triage works with GitHub CLI integration to query repository metadata. It requires this integration to evaluate CI status, review history, and author activity, determining which PRs are ready for maintainer intervention.

Why do my GitHub pull requests keep stalling before merge?▼

Your GitHub pull requests may stall due to a lack of visibility into which PRs actually require maintainer attention. PRs often stall when bottlenecks occur because passing CI and pending reviews are not clearly prioritized for maintainer action.

How do I distinguish author-blocked PRs from maintainer-blocked ones?▼

To distinguish author-blocked from maintainer-blocked PRs, analyze the review history and commit timelines. This contextual analysis determines whether the delay is caused by the author's inactivity or a pending maintainer review or merge action.

When should I exclude draft PRs from code review triage?▼

You should exclude draft PRs from code review triage when filtering for open pull requests that are ready for maintainer intervention. Draft PRs indicate work in progress and should be omitted to ensure only actionable, review-ready contributions are prioritized.
