 ### Workflow
 
+* Authors should request review from riot-web team by default (if someone on the
+  team is clearly the expert in an area, a direct review request to them may be
+  more appropriate)
+* Reviewers should remove the team review request and request review from
+  themselves when starting a review to avoid double review
 * Authors should link to other layers of their PR in their PR before requesting
   review. Reviewers might be coming from different places and could miss other
   required PRs.
