Assign maintainer MR to an existing maintainer for a final confirmation
Why is this change being made?
Currently, we have an optional recommendation for reviewing the trainee maintainer issue with a manager or an existing maintainer in order to track the progress.
What about having a stricter process at the point when a trainee maintainer is ready to become a maintainer and ask them to assign the make-me-a-maintainer MR to an existing maintainer first? That would:
- encourage to ask for a final confirmation from an existing maintainer asynchronously instead of pinging them directly
- the feedback would simplify the approval decision for the maintainers who didn’t have much experience with the trainee maintainer
