@cekv @odontaster @MariaMakri @pcrjoana above is the version from me. The RMG part is changed a lot, as the previous steps looked more like a DM's procedure than an actual check-list for the request. Still, I feel that the 'Request processed by the RMG' is normally covered by our labels (i.e. approvedAsIs, rejected, etc), so not sure if it's redundant and should be removed.
