Can I use Catlight to monitor all open and waiting Pull Requests from all team collaborators across a collection?

I intend to use Catlight to monitor around 30 projects, each with 5 or so repos. We are using Azure Devops Server (self-hosted).

My planned usage scenario is to have Catlight just for the PR managing team (around 5 people). By default, Catlight monitors only items from the logged user.

I've ran some tests with the following scenario:

* Two Azure devs, Catlight installed for both, sharing a Catlight Dashboard.

* Both devs are in the project's Team (in the COLLECTION Contributor group)

The second dev only gets the PR notification if he's added manually as a reviewer.

We use Collection Groups for the Code Reviewers policies so devs don't have to manually add reviewers.

How could I achieve this?

By team you mean Azure Project Team (the standard team that's created for each Project) or a CatLight Team?

Also, is it planned to add such a feature? Another feature I'd like to see is being able to filter PRs from specific users and Azure groups/Teams.

Azure Project Team. 

CatLight is currently focused on providing actionable items to people who can fix them. Looks like you are requesting a management/oversight/reporting functionality. It is not in the near-term plans, but we can see if there is a demand for this feature - people can upvote this question to let us know that they need this too.

Currently, CatLight shows PRs that are related to the current user, or any team that the current user belongs to.

As a workaround, people can additionally assign the PR to a team that you are a member of, and then those PRs will show up on your dashboard.
