have a new feature you'd like to add, you can start a conversation [in our
|
||||
development community](https://zulip.com/development-community/#where-do-i-send-my-message)
|
||||
explaining the feature idea and the problem that you're hoping to solve.
|
||||
- **I think my PR is done, but it hasn't been merged yet. What's going on?**
|
||||
1. **Double-check that you have addressed all the feedback**, including any comments
|
||||
on [Git commit
|
||||
discipline](https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contributing/version-control.html#commit-discipline).
|
||||
2. If all the feedback has been addressed, did you leave a comment explaining that
|
||||
you have done so and **requesting a re-review**? If not, it may not be a
|
||||
clear to project maintainers that your PR is ready for another look.
|
||||
3. It is common for PRs to require **multiple rounds of review**. For example,
|
||||
prior to getting code review from project maintainers, you may receive
|
||||
feedback on the UI (without regard for the implementation), and your code
|
||||
may be reviewed by other contributors. This helps us make good use of
|
||||
project maintainers' time, and helps you make progress on the PR by
|
||||
getting more frequent feedback.
|
||||
4. If you think the PR is ready and haven't seen any updates for a couple
|
||||
of weeks, it can be helpful to post a **comment summarizing your
|
||||
understanding of the state of the review process**.
|
||||
5. Finally, **Zulip project maintainers are people too**! They may be busy
|
||||
with other work, and sometimes they might even take a vacation. ;) It can
|
||||
occasionally take a few weeks for a PR in the final stages of the review
|
||||
process to be merged.
