Automated Gitea Pull Request Review Scheduling
Every morning, WebRun opens Gitea Cloud, reviews open pull requests across your repositories, books a review slot on the reviewer's Google Calendar for anything waiting more than four days, and posts the full list to Microsoft Teams so nothing sits waiting indefinitely.
How do I stop Gitea pull requests from waiting too long for review?
WebRun reviews open Gitea Cloud pull requests every morning, and for anything waiting more than four days, books a review slot directly on the reviewer's Google Calendar. It also posts the full review queue to Microsoft Teams grouped by reviewer, so pull requests get both protected time to be reviewed and visibility across the whole team.
- Stale pull requests get a protected calendar slot instead of an easily ignored ping
- The whole team can see the review queue in Teams every morning
- Reviews get scheduled proactively instead of waiting for someone to complain

Questions, answered
Will WebRun review or merge the pull request itself?
No. It only tracks how long a pull request has waited and books time for a human reviewer. Reviewing and merging code stays entirely with your team.
How is the reviewer chosen for the calendar booking?
From whoever is already assigned as reviewer on the pull request in Gitea, so the booking goes to the right person automatically.
What if the review already happened by the time of the slot?
The booked slot is just protected time. If the review is already done, the reviewer can simply skip it.
