I have been recently chasing people to re-do reviews as some requests
changes but don't follow up on their reviews. Can reviewers either be more
responsible in checking updates on PR's that they block, or do "soft
request changes" by commenting and not requesting changes? Some PRs have
been in stalled status for several weeks as now, instead of just having to
chase the contributor, we now also have to chase the reviewers.

Thanks,
Nelle
