Rubber-Stamped PRs %

The percentage of pull requests that were "rubber stamped" - meaning they received very quick, superficial reviews that likely didn't provide meaningful feedback or catch potential issues.

Interpretation

  • Low Values (0–10%) - suggest a high-quality review process where reviewers take time to thoroughly understand and validate changes. These standards should be maintained.
  • Medium Values (10–25%) - are generally acceptable and reflect a mix of quick and detailed reviews. This is typical for well-functioning teams, but trends should be monitored to ensure quality remains high.
  • High Values (25–50%) - indicate that a significant portion of reviews may be superficial, raising concerns about quality and review effectiveness. Review practices should be assessed and improved.
  • Very High Values (50%+) - point to a critical issue where most reviews lack depth and fail to add value. This likely reflects serious process or cultural problems and requires immediate corrective action.

Think of it like a teacher who just quickly glances at homework and gives it an "A" without actually reading it. A rubber-stamped review is when someone approves code changes without doing a thorough review.
