[bisq-network/compensation] For Cycle 8 (#411)

[Julian Knutsen]

I think that it would be great for transparency to explain a little more about the `PR reviews` cost and how DAO voters should think about this work. Engineering is a major cost for the project and everything we can do to explain and justify the costs will help hold us accountable and ensure we are providing the maximum value to the project. Especially if the DAO needs to move towards a leaner spending model until volume improves.

I am also personally interested because I didn't originally plan the review & merge costs when doing my project estimates and many of these reviews are mine. If I can understand how "expensive" work is after I send it out for review I might be able to avoid work in the future that doesn't have a high enough ROI.

- Do you use a $/hr rate for this work or is it a % of original PR value?
- How much additional work is required when reviewing as a `utAck` vs an `Ack`. Is this work captured somewhere? PR comments, etc?
- Does the `PR reviews` section include the costs of the [Maintainer Role](https://docs.bisq.network/roles.html#maintainer) as well? I expected a separate section for that just like @ripcurlx [request](https://github.com/bisq-network/compensation/issues/439).
- Can you help explain the difference between the $/review rate (which I understand isn't a great metric) between you and @ripcurlx's request?
  - You have an average cost of around $190/review while ripcurlx has $79/review and not all the reviews are mutually exclusive.
    - Is this due to the difference in expertise? experience? testing? time required? cost of living?
