Wikimedia Language engineering/Code review statement of intent

Our intent
Our intent is to:
 * 1) Give initial review or re-review after patch has been updated within a week (7 days). Travels, vacations etc. are valid reasons to temporarily exceed this time.
 * 2) If patch is waiting for updates for more than one month, we should ping the author and notify about this process.
 * 3) If patch is waiting for updates for more than three months, we can abandon the patch (there are other reasons for abandoning patches, this is not the only one).
 * 4) If patch is waiting for updates, we might decide to finish the patch ourselves.
 * 5) Update this page if we change our policy.
