How to Request PR Reviews Without Overstepping

Contributors often express uncertainty about how to get feedback or reviews on their Django pull requests. While maintainers and fellows eventually review all submissions, the waiting period can be unclear, and contributors may hesitate to reach out for fear of being intrusive.

This ticket is inspired by a discussion between Josh Thomas and Sarah Boyce, and proposes adding a section to the Contributing to Django documentation that outlines respectful and effective ways for contributors to request reviews.

This is already covered by ​FAQ: Contributing code. I don't see a reason to duplicate it in another section in docs.

Thanks for the link, Mariusz. Eddy, if you have a concrete edit to suggest to that page we can take a look, but I agree we shouldn't create a new one.

Here is the discussion that suggests the ticket:

​Discord: Advice on getting reviews for Django PR

The idea is to update ​FAQ: Contributing code area of the Django docs to include a set of guidelines mentionned in the discussion.

[Jacob Walls]

Makes sense, we can rewrite this section to incorporate Sarah's advice.
