What is it about?
The main objective of this work is to predict the review time of pull requests. Furthermore, the lifetime and acceptance of pull requests with and without review time were compared and the attribute selection strategy was used to identify those most relevant to the forecast.

Why is it important?
Several works explored data on pull requests in order to provide useful information. Although, the review time was treated as the interval between the submission and the integration of the pull requests, that is, the lifetime itself.
Perspectives
The results of the experiments indicate that the algorithm had the smallest error, averaging 8,504 minutes (approximately 5,9 days) and that the presence of approvals in the review requests has a positive influence on both the acceptance and in the pull request lifetime.
