+Tips to help your PR get reviewed faster
+========================================
+
+1. Verify your PR is in the review queue.
+
+   Make sure your pull request appears in the `review queue`_ so reviewers can
+   easily find it.
+
+2. Find potential reviewers.
+
+   Look for contributors who are familiar with the component you're working on
+   and are still active.
+   You can do this by filtering *Ready for checkin* tickets by component and
+   grouping them by owner to see recent activity.
+   For example, for GIS-related changes, use the `GIS component filters`_ to
+   find active contributors.
+
+3. Make your PR easy to review.
+
+   A well-prepared pull request attracts faster attention. Before requesting a
+   review, do a self-review and follow this checklist:
+
+  - Organize commits. Squash or group them logically (for example, separate
+    refactors from functional changes).
+  - Keep changes minimal. Avoid unrelated modifications.
+  - Ensure test coverage. Add or update tests where appropriate.
+  - Provide clear testing instructions. Include reproduction steps, profiling
+    scripts, or other details if automated tests can't cover the change.
