The closest thing I know of which may have these characteristics is alibaba's AGit-Flow described here: https://git-repo.info/en/2020/03/agit-flow-and-git-repo/ It actually sends pull-requests through the git protocol using a custom proc-receive hook. I'm a bit uncertain how code-review comments are handled in their system, And it isn't exactly something which can just be used off-the-shelf, AFAIK their server side implementation hasn't been released. I had written a prototype-worthy implementation of the server-side git hook here. It basically allows sending a pull-request through git push, along with a cover letter. But i've never really used it in the full PR review cycle beyond that. https://github.com/pullreqr/pullreqr_githook But protocol-wise IMO it seems like a good basis for building a system with these characteristics to me.
