How can we optimise work on paid / priority features/hot fixes?

I usually don't mind if PR reviews are taking time and that a review might drag on for a week or two.
However, I think we should be all hands on deck if people used OpenCollective to get something in on higher priority.

Concrete examples were the PRs

• fix: minified aliases are now properly referenced in subqueries sequelize#14804
• fix: minified aliases are now properly referenced in subqueries (v6) sequelize#14852
• fix: use aliases if subQuery is not used (v7) sequelize#14882

I think it would help if when making the PR it is clear that we do it because of a bug fix/new feature requested on OpenCollective. That would probably up the priority of possible reviewers. This could be included in the PR template.

Also it might help to request reviews of a larger group of people, like @ sequelize / maintainers (additional spaces here to not ping people)

It seems that mentioning people doesn't have a too positive effect. What do you think about adding a label (priority or something) to the relevant issues / prs?

A label can't hurt to add

funded?

I agree, let's add funded and add to the contributing docs that working on the issue makes you eligible for compensation.
