Sure, but bundlebuggy manages to do it for a relatively active project.

Yes.

In story-mode:

As an upstream developer,
I want to see the branches that I've submitted for review that haven't
been reviewed yet
so that I can hassle the people who are supposed to review it.

Good question. There are two sub-categories that are interesting here:

- Branches I can merge now.
- Branches that I need to fix in some way.

But yes, requested reviews that are done.

The emphasis here is Launchpad making it easier for me to get stuff
done and harder to let things slip.

Is that +1 billion to "let's do a review dashboard first" or +1
billion to "global dashboard"?
