PR Review Bot

Definitions

1. An automated tool that comments on, checks, routes, or enforces rules around pull requests, such as style, ownership, CLA status, or required approvals. PR review bots reduce repetitive maintainer work but can also make contribution feel impersonal if overused.

   In plain English: An automated tool that helps check or manage pull requests.

   Example: "The PR review bot caught the missing changelog entry before any human reviewer had to mention it."
