The main goal of a Merge Request Coach is to help merge requests from the community get merged into GitLab.
Responsibilities Triage merge requests labeled ~"Community contribution" according to the Wider Community Merge Request Triage policy. Close merge requests that we don’t want, with a clear explanation on the reasons why, so that people don’t feel discouraged but incentivized that they can make a difference next time. Help contributors to get their merge requests to meet the contribution acceptance criteria.
A Reliability Expert is expert in the reliability of a service or set of features (from here on, we’ll just call it service for brevity).
Reliability Experts typically help to develop the service (in which they may be Specialists) but with explicit attention to the reliability of the service in production. This is measured by the availability and performance of the service on GitLab.com, its impact on the availability and performance of GitLab.
