As far as I remember, advancing to Patch::review was never automatic.
Since the introduction of automatic testing on GitLab, it was on a
human to check that the jobs ran correctly and passed. I don't see a
contradiction with the quoted item though: since it's a summary for
"external" contributors, I would just read it that somebody else (from
the team) advances the status. The last resort is the Patch Meister,
but can be anybody.
