Certainly I will frequently dig through 'git blame' to figure out who might be the right reviewer. Maybe that's automatable -- ping the person who last touched the most lines touched by the PR? There might be some false positives there. And I suppose the downside is being pinged forever for some change that just isn't well considered or one of those accidental 100K-line PRs. So maybe some way to decline or silence is important, or maybe just ping once and leave it. Sure, a bot that just adds a "Would @foo like to review?" comment on Github? Sure seems worth trying if someone is willing to do the work to cook up the bot.
