Do github repo maintainers even get helps from the code review tools??

like I was working on a project somehow it turns out to be a better suitable tool for the code review , I am thinking if its even a need right now, Its not like code rabbit that gives you a pr comment by AI, This one give you a mathematical and absolute analysis of the pull request , it still required a human maintainers to look at but yeah it does help maintainers.

whats your thought is this even the need??

As a github repo maintainer I can tell you I have absolutely no idea what you are trying to ask even after having tried to read your post several times.

Do you have any code you want to have reviewed?

I’d say the need is real, but the hard part is proving that the analysis catches things maintainers actually care about rather than just producing another report. I’d benchmark it against historical PRs and measure actionable findings, false positives, and things humans missed.
