### Waiting for Approvals

Before landing pull requests, sufficient time should be left for input
from other Collaborators. In general, leave at least 48 hours to account for
international time differences and work schedules. However, certain types of
pull requests can be fast-tracked and may be landed after a shorter delay. For
example:
Before landing pull requests, allow 48 hours for input from other Collaborators.
Certain types of pull requests can be fast-tracked and may land after a shorter
delay. For example:

* Focused changes that affect only documentation and/or the test suite:
* `code-and-learn` tasks typically fall into this category.
* `code-and-learn` tasks often fall into this category.
* `good-first-issue` pull requests may also be suitable.
* Changes that fix regressions:
* Regressions that break the workflow (red CI or broken compilation).
* Regressions that happen right before a release, or reported soon after.

When a pull request is deemed suitable to be fast-tracked, label it with
`fast-track` and add a comment that collaborators may upvote. Please mention any
Collaborators that previously approved the pull request. If someone disagrees
with the fast-tracking request, remove the label and leave a comment indicating
why the pull request should not be fast-tracked. The pull request can be landed
once two or more Collaborators approve both the pull request and the
fast-tracking request, and the necessary CI testing is done. A request to
fast-track a PR made by a different Collaborator than the pull-request author
counts as a fast-track approval.
To propose fast-tracking a pull request, apply the `fast-track` label. Then add
a comment that Collaborators may upvote.

If someone disagrees with the fast-tracking request, remove the label. Do not
fast-track the pull request in that case.

The pull request may be fast-tracked if two Collaborators approve the
fast-tracking request. To land, the pull request itself still needs two
Collaborator approvals and a passing CI.

Collaborators may request fast-tracking of pull requests they did not author.
In that case only, the request itself is also one fast-track approval. Upvote
the comment anyway to avoid any doubt.
