[vim/vim] Vim PR review using CodeRabbit (Issue #19834)

[Hakkadaikon]

Hakkadaikon created an issue (vim/vim#19834)

Summary

This is a suggestion to install CodeRabbit in the Vim repository and introduce AI-powered review.

What is CodeRabbit

When you create a pull request, coderabbitai automatically creates a summary of the PR and performs a code review.
If repository is public, we can use the Pro plan for free.

Quickstart

https://docs.coderabbit.ai/getting-started/quickstart

Expected effects

I think the burden on maintainers would be reduced if the creator of a pull request fixed CodeRabbit's automated review function before the maintainer reviews it.
Of course, there will be times when the AI ​​review is not appropriate.
In those cases, you can point it out to coderabbitai in a reply to your PR comment, and coderabbitai will learn from that.

Example

As an experiment, I had a forked version of Vim review a currently open pull request.
Coderabbit allows you to specify prompts in its settings and enable manual reviews only instead of automated reviews, but this example uses the default settings.

Is this better than the current copilot integration? It seems to be a bit verbose and I am a bit worried about the required permissions, it requires read-write permissions for code and commits?

Since Coderabbit is an AI specifically designed for reviews, I think it's more likely to provide a deeper, more in-depth review compared to Copilot.

it requires read-write permissions for code and commits?

Regarding permissions, you definitely need write permissions for the contents.

It has a large number of successful implementations.

It has been adopted by at least 10,000 companies and is used in things like the JavaScript runtime Bun.

My company has been using it for about a year now, and we haven't had any problems so far.

If Copilot's AI review is sufficient, or if you have concerns about permissions, this might be unnecessary.
