I'm not sure if it is needed. I'm using coderabit.ai in some projects and see its big value if there are problems with getting other maintainers to review (or you are the only one maintainer), but I do not see significant added value for projects with active maintainers and properly setup linters.

I see it not only from the maintainers point of view... there are open PRs where interacting with the AI could help the contributors to get a working and reviewable state faster.
But I don't want to push anything if you expect more harm than good, just saw the amazing help it provided me and others, how can I close this discussion?

[Czaki]

Allow other maintainers to provide their opinion. Maybe it could be useful, but some people are distracted by AI automated posts.

But CodeRabbit allows to disable auto review and do it on requests.

I also got a mailing today with this post https://www.coderabbit.ai/blog/how-linux-foundation-used-ai-code-reviews-to-reduce-manual-bottlenecks-in-oss

There are many encouraging testimonials of course. I just wanted to suggest looking into it after my good experiences, it seems one of the best helpers at the moment for Open-Source projects but you always have to check for yourself 😄

So I suggest, for the future, adding the links, where maintainers could see how it works, not only instruction how to setup.
