Responding to issues and pull requests can feel as tedious and as time consuming as responding to emails, especially when your responsibilities include code reviews.

To all my maintainers, this Hacktober, instead of debating which notifications you want to respond to, leverage saved replies. Saved replies allow you to create a reusable response to issues and pull requests. Because saved replies are connected to your account, you can utilize them in different repositories and organizations.
