For years i am thinking already about building an ide plugin for this. There is an eclipse implementation, but I'd love to have intellij. Leaving the ide for code reviews is a no-go. I started looking into adapting the intelij github plugin for this, or the gerrit plugin but didn't succeed yet. If someone is interested in collaborating we can open an org and a repo.

a vscode plugin and maybe integration into gitea would be nice as well.

Edit: there is https://github.com/thigg/appraise-intellij but this is a mere POC

I could also imagine to store metadata from the ide next to the pr. The ide knows a lot of things about the change when doing refactorings that do not trivially reflect in the diff. E.g. Extractions and renamings... if I could do a review and the system would tell what happened instead of what changed in some cases, that would be so useful. never ever reviewing 1000 lines of class renamings anymore...
