Assign a random reviewer to merge requests?
While working on updating the documentation about code reviews, it was highlighted that it was harder with GitLab to get a list of all pending merge requests. While we can work out custom solutions, it seems we could benefit from GitLab task tracking features (To-Do lists, “review requests for you”) and better fan out the work by assigning reviewers randomly to pending merge requests.

- assignbot: a Python bot that can assign pending merge requests with weekly/daily limits per team member.
