we don't add users to repositories, we add the kde-developers group.
I doubt we want to set the option per-group... that would mean *nobody* would 
get any kde merge requests unless they were also *personally* added to that 
repository by the administrator of that repository. and any time someone 
changed their mind about what review requests they wanted, they would have to 
ask an administrator to go change it for them.

so no, this is not a solution. :(

what *would* be a solution is allowing users themselves to set such options 
for projects which they are subscribed to, either directly or via a group 
they're in. it shouldn't matter how they got access; if they have access they 
should be able to decline parts of it (like merge requests) on their own.

it's one of the basic foundations of our community really, isn't it? if you 
want to do something you can do it, you don't have to go ask some special 
administrator to give you permission, let alone do it *for* you.
