Do you share PR links on Slack? Or a dedicated channel? Or DM?

Is there a tool?

Currently, I am looking for a way to not keep PRs open for a long time without having to tag the reviewer in person. Please no AI tools.

Then do it. Both GitHUb and GitLab have that feature.

We tag reviewers on Gitlab when needed, usually if the person is on a different team, but also we have a dedicated channel to post MR links and if they don’t get seen within a couple hours we bump the post a few times. When THAT doesn’t work we ping people privately.
