Create pending pull request review
The "create_pending_pull_request_review" tool enables developers to initiate a pending review for a GitHub pull request, allowing them to gather comments before submitting the review. This facilitates a smoother code review process by letting reviewers prepare and finalize their feedback before the pull request author sees it.
