Code review permission manager

Build granular controls for code review participation. Teams need to clarify who can approve vs. comment without bureaucratic overhead.

Why now

Growing teams struggle to scale review processes without creating bottlenecks.

Who for
Engineering managers
Business model
SaaS subscriptions
Effort
A few months

Code review often becomes either too restrictive or too chaotic as teams grow.

A GitHub/GitLab integration that enforces review rules based on file paths, change types, or team boundaries.

Target engineering managers at scaling startups via team subscriptions.

Start with basic file path rules before complex condition logic.

Risk: May conflict with existing CI/CD workflows.
