Re: [Tools-discuss] [Int-dir] Proposed change to review assignment email subject

Hi,

I think sending two e-mails would be an overkill. I think the consensus so

Your <team name> review assignment of <draft-foo> by <deadline>

Can we move forward with this? We'll need to inform reviewers so they can
update their filters if needed.

Thanks,

Carlos
