Another way would also be to use the root /merge_requests?scope=assigned_to_me&state=open endpoint, rather than iterating the list of every project Marge is a member of and then iterating the list of MRs for that project. That should make turnaround much quicker, and reduce the number of API calls as well.

@maikelvl Thanks for the pointer. Ultimately we just went with having a single instance per project (or group of related projects, at least), since mutual starvation was starting to become a problem, e.g. if you have two equally-active projects with 35min CI pipelines, then you could only merge one per project per hour ...

If you have many projects, then yes, it will take some time to iterate through all of them. It would be good to have some optimisations for Marge to work on different projects simultaneously (as mentioned in #69).

For now, a workaround would be to run multiple instances of Marge, each looking at a subset of your projects. As long as these don't overlap, they won't conflict with each other.

Thanks @JaimeLennox, i came to same conclusion for the workaround.
