 In some cases, it may be necessary to summon a GitHub team to a pull request for
 review by @-mention.
 See [Who to CC in the issue tracker](#who-to-cc-in-the-issue-tracker).
 
-If you are unsure about the modification and are not prepared to take
-full responsibility for the change, defer to another Collaborator.
-
 If you are the first Collaborator to approve a pull request that has no CI yet,
-please start one (see [testing and CI](#testing-and-ci) for further information
-on how to do that) and post the link to the CI in the PR. Please also start a
-new CI in case the PR creator pushed new code since the last CI run (due to
-e.g., an addressed review comment or a rebase).
-
-In case there are already enough approvals (`LGTM`), a CI run, and the PR is
-open longer than the minimum waiting time without any open comments, please do
-not (only) add another approval. Instead go ahead and land the PR after checking
-the CI outcome.
