Do you know if there is an approval process?

They should probably provide an official way of doing this with manual review.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by not seeming reviewed?

wyager Aug 25, 2021 View on HN

Edit: I incorrectly claimed there wasn’t manual review - see below

Precisely why you need review processes ;)

gte910h Jul 6, 2011 View on HN

Okay, that's more reasonable than "nothing is checked in without a review".

BeefWellington Dec 18, 2023 View on HN

And you believe that process has human review as a step?

matsemann Oct 6, 2021 View on HN

Huh, what's the value in the review process then..?

davidgerard Apr 25, 2021 View on HN

there's no way this didn't go through multiple layers of review

jamil7 Oct 12, 2019 View on HN

Do you enforce that automatically? or is it just part of the review process?
