Description
Background
We/ve started using the bypass feature more often, especially for safe, tool-generated changes (e.g., from black, ruff, djade). These PRs can sometimes be quite large, for example, one recently included 250 Django template changes.
Problem
When bypass is enabled, the tool adds a clear comment, but it’s easy for reviewers to miss. As a result, reviewers may spend unnecessary time checking PRs that don’t actually require approval.
Proposal
Automatically add a label(configurable) (e.g., bypass-reviews) to PRs where bypass is enabled. Labels are more visible in the PR list and give reviewers a quick signal that the PR doesn't require their approval.
Benefits
- Increases visibility of bypassed PRs
- Reduces confusion for reviewers
- Saves review time on large, tool-generated PRs
