Wow, I didn't know this was a thing! Sourcery actually seems like the
more impressive one in terms of summarizing the changes and aiding in
review, but those two in tandem look pretty cool indeed. Makes me think
of an alternate reality where we use GitHub (or something else more
modern) to review code :)
So I guess this patch just configures CodeRabbit better. In that case,
