Should we have CoPilot enabled for code reviews in our repositories?

• Yes, by default
• Teams can choose
• No

[BartMassey]

Great question. I don't know what "enabled" means here? I certainly don't want a Copilot review unless I ask for one.

[thejpster]

Actually, I have no idea how copilot integration works and if it can be enabled or disabled on a per-repository basis, or if it just comes with the user account of the reviewer.

It might be at https://github.com/organizations/rust-embedded/settings/models/access-policy, but I cannot see that page.

[adamgreig]

As far as I'm aware all Copilot related settings are disabled organisation-wide (which is the default configuration). As far as I can tell, any user can manually request a Copilot review and there's no specific setting to prevent it, the same as any GitHub user could leave a review and suggestions on a PR. We don't have automatic Copilot reviews enabled so it should only happen if someone specifically requests it.

[eldruin]

I certainly do not think they would help me (although I have not tested them).
I think the current policy makes sense but if other people prefer them always enabled, I am fine with that.

rust-embedded/discovery-mb2#80 could use a major review from someone here, for both typo fixes and large issues. I've rewritten a lot of the Serial chapter of the Disco Book, and also hacked up some other stuff, in response to feedback from a reader.
