Clarify code review timelines and best practices

I'm a first time contributor to the project. I made a small documentation change with the aim of understanding the process before diving into more complex issues. 

My CL has been +1'd since April 7th, but I haven’t seen any updates from reviewers since. Is that a typical amount of time to wait? On GitHub, it's common to ping a reviewer by commenting on the PR—does something similar apply in Gerrit? Is it acceptable to leave a comment to nudge the process along?

Any insight would be appreciated. I really appreciate all the awesome work the Golang project has produced, and I'm excited to be able to contribute to that.

Thanks,

Matt

Your CL needs one +2 (from anyone who has +2 power) and two +1 or +2 from Googlers before it can be submitted. You can check the status of your CL here

At the moment your CL has one +2 from Googler and it needs one more +1 or +2 from Googler.

The time it takes to review CLs varies. But your CL looks simple, so it should be reviewed within days or a week. Sometimes it takes longer because people are away for a holiday or something (like now).

It is always fine to ping on your CL to remind others that you are waiting for review. Sometimes that does not help, and then it is OK to post a message here. As you did. I suspect Jorropo gave you +2 since he saw your message here.

I hope it helps.
