The
gh pr edit --add-reviewerflag on pr edit already supports re-requesting reviews from reviewers who have already submitted their review, but this wasn't documented in the help text. I think this would help others (and AI tools) who otherwise assume--add-reviewermeans ADD reviewer if they don't exist, not re-request review if they've already been added and submitted a review. I have been using this to re-request Copilot Code Review runs on a PRgh pr edit --add-reviewer @copilot.I don't think this PR closes the following issues, but they at least reference this.
