ReviewLoad av Charlie Groves

Before you request a review on GitHub, see how many reviews each person is already waiting on.

ReviewLoad adds a small number next to every name in a pull request's Reviewers menu: the count of open pull requests currently waiting on that person's review, not counting the one you're looking at. It turns green, amber or red as the number rises, and hovering shows the oldest five with links.

• Works in the Reviewers menu and next to reviewers already on the PR
• Counts open, non-draft PRs where the person is directly requested, across the organisation (or just the repository)
• Uses your own read-only GitHub token; there is no ReviewLoad server
• No analytics, no tracking, no data sent anywhere except api.github.com
• Demo mode lets you see it working before creating a token
• Free and open source (MIT): https://github.com/CharlieGroves/review-load

ReviewLoad only adds information. It never requests reviews, assigns anyone or changes anything on GitHub. There are no leaderboards or history: the numbers exist to protect busy reviewers at the moment someone chooses who to ask.

Setup takes about two minutes: click the ReviewLoad icon in your toolbar, follow the link to a pre-filled GitHub token form ("Pull requests: Read-only"), and paste the token back into the pop-up.
