It is not that easy. This feature shifts some of the work from the
developer to the reviewer. IMHO our reviewers are already one of the
weakest link in our development process as reviewing is normally only done
by the people who have been working on the code for a long time and know
the code quite well.

I'd like to see solutions that shift work from these people and make it
easier for new reviewers to come in and not make their job more complex and
more demanding.
