I can maybe see this working with the larger projects (although I would
imagine for us in CI it would be a lot of work implementing this for
little gain).  But with smaller teams you can find that sometimes the
coding is done with all the core team involved.  In this case code
review for small changes will only take minutes at most.

Kind Regards
