Reviewing commits before merging is the integrator's raison d'être.

If your job was an airplane inspector, would it be important to automate
checking whether there is a bear in the cockpit?  It's pretty dangerous
to fly the plane when there is a bear in the cockpit and if you just
sign the form without checking, some poor pilot is going to get in that
cockpit with a steak sandwich and nothing good can come of that.  But if
you actually go in the cockpit to inspect the instruments, it's going to
be hard to miss the bear.
