I made some code experience with automatic checking of style issues and 
similar things (e.g. with https://houndci.com). If a tool gives immediate 
feedback about these things, reviewers don't have to do the nitpicking, and 
there is no risk of reviewees taking it personal.

If the CI checks and comments the small issues, the review by the human 
reviewer naturally focuses on more high-level questions.
