Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Assigned reviewers

Hi wiresharks,

Context: https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/merge_requests/1313#note_478706594

In Gerrit times, a person could add someone as a reviewer to a change
to request review, the reviewer could remove themselves if they were
unavailable, and so on.  What is the equivalent in the GitLab world?
More concretely:

- when a change is ready to review, how do I say so?
- if a review seems to be stalled, what's the best place to poke?
- if I would like to review a change, how should I signal interest?
- what happens when a change has been approved and it is time to merge
  it?  Where can I read about the bot that does that?

I checked docbook/wsdg_src/WSDG_chapter_sources.adoc[1] as a first
guess of where to find these answers and didn't get a clear sense of
things.  I'll be happy to contribute a summary of what I learn there.

Thanks for your kind help in reviews while we've been guessing. :)

Thanks,
Jonathan
