This page describes established collaboration efforts between the code contributor program and various GitLab Teams/groups.
We have established an initiative between the Quality department and the Community Relations team to identify opportunities for improving the contributor experience (quicker review time, automation, etc.) and internal processes for increasing the number of contributions and MRARR.
The joint effort has been created to establish more effective collaboration between these two teams by aligning on strategy, communicating priorities, and executing together.
