[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@ppxasjsm you were previously assigned as editor for the initial submission. Would you be happy to be editor again now that the authors have implemented the changes requested? Once approach is to assign you, but that you only pick it up once you are available (as I see you are currently handling many other submissions). If you'd prefer I look for an alternative editor let me know. Thanks.

[alfredohernandezinostroza]

@Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman Hello! I was considering suggesting reviewers for the submission. Is it mandatory for them to be on the list of reviewers? Thanks!

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@editorialbot invite @majensen as editor

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@alfredohernandezinostroza thanks for your patience here. We should have an editor assigned shortly. About suggesting reviewers, no they need not be listed on that reviewers list. You can suggest anybody really. Ideally you should list their GitHub handles (but leave out the @ symbol so they are not tagged). Thanks.

[majensen]
