Blind Review Extension

The goal of this extension is to relieve you, the pull-request reviewer, of your known and unknown biases. Works with GitHub and BitBucket.

Treat the code as the code, no matter who wrote it.

We all have our own code review biases, whether we admit it or not.
- \"This person always writes good code, I'm just going to merge it\"
- \"I better go over this thoroughly because this person screwed things up last time\"
- \"This was written by a person way smarter than me, I better just approve, they know what they are doing\"
- \"This person destroyed my last PR, I am going to nitpick the hell out of theirs\"
