== Reviewers
Normally it is not needed to explicitly assign reviewers to every
change since the project members either link:user-notify.html#user[
watch the project] and get notified by email or regularly check the
list of open changes in the Gerrit WebUI. The project members then
pick the changes themselves that are interesting to them for review.
If authors of changes want to have a review by a particular person
(e.g. someone who is known to be expert in the touched code area, or a
stakeholder for the implemented feature), they can request the review
by adding this person in the Gerrit WebUI as a reviewer on the change.
Gerrit will then notify this person by email about the review request.
With the link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/admin/projects/plugins/reviewers[
reviewers] plugin it is possible to configure default reviewers who
will be automatically added to each change. The default reviewers can
be configured in the Gerrit WebUI under `Projects` > `List` >
<your project> > `General` in the `reviewers Plugin` section.
The link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/admin/projects/plugins/reviewers-by-blame[
reviewers-by-blame] plugin can automatically add reviewers to changes
based on the link:https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-blame.html[
git blame] computation on the changed files. This means that the plugin
will add those users as reviewer that authored most of the lines
touched by the change, since these users should be familiar with the
code and can most likely review the change. How many reviewers the
plugin will add to a change at most can be configured in the Gerrit
WebUI under `Projects` > `List` > <your project> > `General` in the
`reviewers-by-blame Plugin` section.
