To ensure process quality and reliability, all non-trivial pull requests must be triaged before merging.
If there is disagreement on the general idea behind an issue or pull request, it is moved to _To discuss_, otherwise to _In review_.
If there is disagreement on the general idea behind an issue or pull request, it is moved to [To discuss](#to-discuss).
Otherwise, the issue or pull request in questions get the label [`idea approved`](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels/idea%20approved).
For issues this means that an implementation is welcome and will be prioritised for review.
For pull requests this means that:
- Unfinished work is encouraged to be continued.
- A reviewer is assigned to take responsibility for getting the pull request merged.
The item is moved to the [Assigned](#assigned) column.
- If needed, the team can decide to do a collarorative review.
Then the item is moved to the [In review](#in-review) column, and review session is scheduled.
