### Finding Reviewers
As most reviewers are themselves developers with their own projects, the review
process can be quite lengthy, and some amount of patience is required. If you find

The review process is normally fairly responsive on the Dash Core repository, however

[Git Blame feature](https://help.github.com/articles/tracing-changes-in-a-file/). Simply
find the person touching the code you are touching before you and see if you can find
them and give them a nudge. Don't be incessant about the nudging though.
