+@node Reviewing the Work of Others
+@section Reviewing the Work of Others
+
+Perhaps the biggest action you can do to help GNU Guix grow as a project
+is to review the work contributed by others.  You do not need to be a
+committer to do so; applying, reading the source, building, linting and
+running other people's series and sharing your comments about your
+experience will give some confidence to committers, and should result in
+the proposed change being merged faster.
+
+@cindex reviewing, guidelines
+Review comments should be unambiguous; be as clear and explicit as you
+can about what you think should be changed, ensuring the author can take
+action on it.  Please try to keep the following guidelines in mind
+during review:
+
+@enumerate
+@item
+@emph{Be clear and explicit about changes you are suggesting}, ensuring
+the author can take action on it.  In particular, it is a good idea to
+explicitly ask for new revisions when you want it.
+
+@item
+@emph{Remain focused: do not change the scope of the work being
+reviewed.}  For example, if the contribution touches code that follows a
+pattern deemed unwieldy, it would be unfair to ask the submitter to fix
+all occurrences of that pattern in the code; to put it simply, if a
+problem unrelated to the patch at hand was already there, do not ask the
+submitter to fix it.
+
+@item
+@emph{Ensure progress.}  As they respond to review, submitters may
+submit new revisions of their changes; avoid requesting changes that you
+did not request in the previous round of comments.  Overall, the
+submitter should get a clear sense of progress; the number of items open
+for discussion should clearly decrease over time.
+
+@item
+@emph{Review is a discussion.}  The submitter's and reviewer's views on
+how to achieve a particular change may not always be aligned.  As a
+reviewer, try hard to explain the rationale for suggestions you make,
+and to understand and take into account the submitter's motivation for
+doing things in a certain way.
+
+@item
+@emph{Aim for finalization.}  Reviewing code is time-consuming.  Your
+goal as a reviewer is to put the process on a clear path towards
+integration, possibly with agreed-upon changes, or rejection, with a
+clear and mutually-understood reasoning.  Avoid leaving the review
+process in a lingering state with no clear way out.
+@end enumerate
+
+@cindex LGTM, Looks Good To Me
+When you deem the proposed change adequate and ready for inclusion
+within Guix, the following well understood/codified @acronym{LGTM, Looks
+Good To Me} phrases should be used to sign off as a reviewer, meaning
+you have reviewed the change and that it looks good to you:
+
+@itemize
+@item
+If the @emph{whole} series (containing multiple commits) looks good to
+you, reply with a @samp{This series LGTM!} to the cover page if it has
+one, or to the last patch of the series otherwise.
+
+@item
+If you instead want to mark a @emph{single commit} as reviewed (but not
+the whole series), simply reply with @samp{LGTM!} to that commit
+message.
+@end itemize
+
+If you are not a committer, you can help others find a @emph{series} you
+have reviewed more easily by adding a @code{reviewed-looks-good} usertag
+for the @code{guix} user (@pxref{Debbugs Usertags}).
