The record

Product: PullApprove is a framework for managing human code review and combines code ownership with approval requirements.
Configuration: PullApprove uses a CODEREVIEW.toml file in each repository to define path-based review scopes.
Review rules: Scopes can set eligible reviewers, how many reviewers to request, and how many approvals are required.
Organization scale: The product is designed for individual teams or whole organizations across multiple repositories and large monorepos.
Integrations: PullApprove works with GitHub and GitLab, including GitLab.com and self-managed GitLab instances.
GitLab limitation: GitLab does not support PullApprove checklists, and its Insights timeline has only partial support.
CLI: The PullApprove CLI can initialize, validate, test, and analyze coverage for code review configurations.
AI assistant support: PullApprove provides an agent prompt for configuring, migrating, and fixing its setup, and says the agent runs locally with coding assistants such as Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot.
Hosted security: For hosted v5, PullApprove says it has no write access to code and does not keep source code in long-term storage.
Security certifications: PullApprove says it is not currently pursuing SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification.
Support: The support page says messages are answered by email, usually within a business day, with a stated response time under 24 hours.
Free access: PullApprove is free for open-source projects that do not have paid contributors, subject to application.
Self-hosting: PullApprove 5 is distributed as a Docker image for linux/amd64 and requires PostgreSQL 16 or later.
Maker and founding: Dropseed founder Dave Gaeddert says he started the software business in 2016 with PullApprove.
