[xuanxu]

@editorialbot assign me as editor

[editorialbot]

Assigned! @xuanxu is now the editor

[xuanxu]

👋 @sterinaldi / @KAClough / @j-faria: would you be willing to review this paper? I think your expertise within Astrophysics makes all of you a great fit for this submission.

[KAClough]

@xuanxu I am afraid I don't have time at the moment but I will ask around our collaboration for volunteers :-)

[xuanxu]

@KAClough ok, thanks!

[j-faria]

@xuanxu I'm sorry but at this time I'm not available to review this paper

[sterinaldi]

@xuanxu I might be available to review this paper. The thing is that I'm not extremely familiar with the subject, so I don't know if I'm the right person. If no other referee is found, however, I'm happy to help. I may just need more time than the expected 2 weeks.

[xuanxu]

@sterinaldi OK, thanks! I'll try to find another referee and probably add you as second reviewer then.

[xuanxu]

👋 @duetosymmetry, @duncanmmacleod would you be willing to review this paper? I think your past experience with software packages for gravitational waves and black holes would come handy here.

[xuanxu]

👋 @martin-millon, @Uddiptaatwork would you be willing to review this paper? Your experience with Python and mathematical physics can be of help here.

[Uddiptaatwork]

@xuanxu Yes, I can review.

[xuanxu]

@Uddiptaatwork that's great, thanks!
I'll start the review issue now

[xuanxu]

@editorialbot add @Uddiptaatwork as reviewer

[editorialbot]

@Uddiptaatwork added to the reviewers list!

[xuanxu]

@editorialbot add @sterinaldi as reviewer

[editorialbot]

@sterinaldi added to the reviewers list!

[xuanxu]

@editorialbot start review

[editorialbot]

OK, I've started the review over in #6587.
