+Please read the review comments carefully, fix the related part of the code and/or respond in case there is anything unclear. Maintainers will add the `waiting for response` tag to PRs to make it clear we are waiting on the submitter for updates. __Once the tag is added, if there is no activity on a pull request or the contributor does not respond, our bot will automatically close the PR after two weeks!__ If you expect a longer period of inactivity or you want to abandon a pull request, please let us know.
 
-1. We send a first reminder after at least 2 weeks of inactivity.
-1. After at least another two weeks of inactivity we send a second reminder and are setting the `waiting for response` tag.
-1. Another two weeks later we will ask the community for help setting the `help wanted` reminder.
