   • Needs your review - any PRs where you (or your team) have been tagged as a reviewer

   • Needs your attention - your PRs which have been approved or changes have been requested

   • Waiting for author - someone else’s PRs which you (or another reviewer) have approved or requested changes on

   • Waiting for reviewers - your PRs which are waiting for review

   • All other pull requests - all other PRs in the repos you selected
