Hi,
I went ahead and enabled Gemini code assist in the repo. It should
(hopefully) triggers only if you type "/gemini review" in a PR comment.
It is enabled for issues at Medium or High priority. Let's see how it goes

Hi,
I think it could be worth to have the *possibility* of requiring an AI
assisted review for pull requests, directly available from our
canonical repo. I've been occasionaly experimenting Gemini Code Assist
and Copilot in my personal fork. Copilot had repeated failures a few
weeks ago but seems to have been fixed recently, so I've more
experience with /gemini review. I find it useful and it has spotted
real issues, some of them would have probably went unnoticed during
classic human review, and with an acceptable rate of false positives
or debatable remarks.
So my proposal would be to have the tool(s) enabled in OSGeo/GDAL
repo, *on demand* (not sure if that's possible for Copilot. Is that a
setting? Although I'm not trusting github enough to be sure if we want
to increase our use of it. Gemini review is definitely on demand and
an external github app we can disable in one click) for developers or
reviewers that want to trigger them. I don't think having them to run
systematically is a good idea, because some PRs are too trivial to get
any benefit from them, and having them enabled systematically lead to
noise as PR comments and notifications.
I definitely don't think those tools should replace human review. AI
tools are instructed to flatter your ego and will never say your PR is
a bad idea, which a human reviewer will occasionally say. Or they lack
the global picture, etc. I see them as additional tools on top of our
CI instrumentation and human review.
Anyone with experience in that area and thoughts?
Even
