Hi,

I was not aware of there being separate notions of "reviewers" and "subscribers", so with this being in the "Add reviewers" not I thought "to subscribe" meant "to add as a reviewer".  Actually from what I recall, llvm-commits had been added automatically (but I might misremember). (I hope this kind of feedback helps to improve the documentation.) There’s https://llvm.org/docs/Contributing.html which would ideally contain all relevant info, but it might be hard to discover. Did you have a look at that page?

I had found that, yes, bit it took me a while. It is from there that I reached <https://llvm.org/docs/Phabricator.html#phabricator-request-review-web>. I started at <https://llvm.org/> and scanned for "contribute", and that went nowhere at first. Even when I found <https://llvm.org/docs/> it wasn't at all obvious that this was the right direction, the contribution documentation is way down at the bottom.

Given that <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/> is on GH, it might be worth adding a CONTRIBUTING.md or at least adding some pointers to the README -- that's actually the place I started looking for information.

Kind regards, Ralf
