My suspicion is this:

All the issues someone with no familiarity of the code base or the problem could typically uncover are things that are prone to be automated away by software in the long run (or are already in the process of being automated).

I think that's a natural place where our tooling will evolve to - a lot of things that aren't caught in an automated way, after being trained with real review, will. There's no replacement for the human component of review though, and we believe that by allowing reviewers repeated access to the project, that they will gain the context necessary.
