## Description

A browser extension that lets you randomly assign a project member as a reviewer to a GitLab merge request. Works with <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/f35669455639c0d027df162b17760141424c62acab524f632ca8bb96fe12f333/http%3A//GitLab.com" rel="nofollow">GitLab.com</a> and self-hosted GitLab instances on any domain. No personal access token (PAT) is required.

How picking works
<ol><li>Click the <strong>🎲 Randomize</strong>. The button shows a random eligible member's name with a countdown, e.g. <code>Alice Brown · 8s</code>.</li><li>If that's a reasonable reviewer, do nothing – once the countdown reaches 0 the extension calls the GitLab API and assigns them.</li><li>If that's not someone who should review this MR (e.g. a repo member who isn't on the developing team), click the button again before the countdown ends. It rerolls to someone else and restarts the countdown. Already rejected names aren't shown again in the same round. The MR author is always excluded automatically.</li></ol>
The extension's settings can be configured from the extension's options page.
