Use cases of this metric
- Use this metric to understand the comment volume on PRs; a high volume of comments could indicate
- New dev needing hand holding
- Lack of proper understanding of the requirement on the part of the submitter or the reviewer
- High comments could be leading to higher review times & therefore higher cycle times.
