My personal take is that the highest level of trust lies with the in-house team. If thats broken, you need to restructure the team until trust is established again.

I am really skeptical about a service (like pullrequest.com) where external reviewers come in to gate-keep internal PRs. It can work like CI / CD checks (e.g pentesting, SonarCube). But its next to impossible to truly suggest changes that make a difference without knowing the context.

At GitStart, we have tried hard to make sure we are accelerate and empower the in-house teams, instead of shrinking them or trying to replace their need.
