Both GitHub and GitLab have recently released new stacked MR tech: I guess everyone is submitting giant AI-authored PRs these days, and there's a real need to break them up into human-reviewable chunks.

Both are an improvement (GH's seems a little better, with their one-button merge that GL lacks) ... bit both are so incredibly "meh".

When are we going to see the major hosts give tools designed to help facilitate human code review? Simple example: lets say I want to leave notes in my PR (MR on GitLab). I can use the review comments to do so, but then I have a million comments to resolve at the end before I can merge, my comments look just like the reviewer comments (with extra UI for replying that's unecessary), etc.

It'd be so easy to just have a "sign post" feature to let authors annotate their code before reviewers review it ... and nobody offers this, or any other features focused on actually helping humans review. It's all just new command line features that save a bit of rebasing (which Claude can do just fine on its own).
