I think the deeper need is a "self-review" flow.

People push AI-reviewed code like they wrote it. In the past, "wrote it" implies "reviewed it." With AI, that's no longer true.

I advocate for GitHub and other code review systems to add a "Require self-review" option, where people must attest that they reviewed and approved their own code. This change might seem symbolic, but it clearly sets workflows and expectations.

Heck, doing a self review when you wrote the code catches stuff like forgetting debug prints.
