automatically setting 'Patch::review' for MRs?

In section 1.3 of the CG ('Summary for experienced developers') we
have the following item:

  2. A Merge Request is usually automatically tested within an hour
     of submission.  Once it has passed the basic tests – ‘make
     check’, ‘make’, ‘make doc’ – the tracker will be updated and
     the patch’s status will change to ‘Patch::review’ for other
     developers to examine.

However, this automatic tracker update doesn't happen currently; we
have to set 'Patch::review' manually.

Does gitlab support such an automatical setting of a label?  If yes,
it would be great if this can be (re)activated.  Otherwise we have to
update the documentation...
