I've been a big fan of this approach for years (introduced to me by Conventional Comments [1]) - even though it may not always be necessary, it's a low-effort way to make sure you're not misunderstood.

I'd previously tried Conventional Commits but I found the number of labels they suggest too many to keep in my head. The labels in post map well to how I think about comments.
There is a chrome plugin for this that is awesome. I started using it and one of the things i saw is that the amount PR's that I block went down significantly. Because i will classify block or non blocking per issue so don't end deciding at the end based on the amount.

So for example something that has 10 nitpicks I will let it pass because all it tells me is i'm a dick :)

I’ve had great luck with conventional commits by just ignoring half of them. feat, fix, chore, docs - that’s enough to cover a LOT of cases.
Thank you for sharing. The example, where the same sentence is presented with different labels, effectively illustrates the essence of the idea.
