Request reviewers

POST/repos/{owner}/{name}/pulls/{number}/requested_reviewers

reviewers are usernames, and may include g1t to ask a g1t agent; team_reviewers are teams, as workspace/team or the team’s slug in the repository’s workspace. They are added to whoever is asked already. Asking a team asks everyone in it, or with its review assignment on, the people it picks. Nobody is asked to review their own pull request, and a team must be one you can see. Whoever opened the pull request, or anyone with the Triage role or higher, while it is open. Returns the pull request, with reviewers and team_reviewers as they are now.

Adds to who is asked: reviewers by username (g1t asks a g1t agent), team_reviewers as workspace/team, or a team’s slug in the repository’s workspace. A team with review assignment on has the people it picks added to reviewers, and stays in team_reviewers. Each is told in their inbox. Nobody is asked to review their own pull request. 422 for someone who is not an account, or a team that does not exist or that you cannot see. Whoever opened it, or the Triage role or higher, while it is open. See Pull requests and Teams.
