Seems like a good idea, but I wonder about the true quality of the review? In my experience, only a true team member who's familiar with the project (i.e. has actually been working on it) can provide a quality code review. Beyond that, they're just looking at ways to optimize blocks or find weird bugs in non-breaking recursive lines...
- lyal 9y agoGreat insight. Definitely something we are tackling. For once off reviews on an individual pull request, it can be challenging to do anything but surface review. As a result, we're building some summarization tools to help provide context rapidly to a reviewer. Over the lifetime of a project, we have reviewers assigned to the same projects so that they build up context, in the same way that team members do.
