I wonder how one does manage a PR with >100 files changed. I realize these are sometimes unavoidable, but shouldn't we strive for smaller PRs? No tool will help you with exploding complexity...

Usually with massive PRs of that sort I’ll have several smaller PRs to a separate branch that get reviewed so that everything in the massive PR to the main branch has already been reviewed and the big one is just a cursory look. But this approach probably isn’t as feasible with open source projects.
