Make it practical to review larger PRs and follow review threads

Body

Can you please make it possible to actually follow PR review's comment threads? I'd try to implement a sidebar for comments (with filtering by author/participants, resolved/unresolved) à la Google Docs maybe? Wdyt?

Currently, if a PR has 10s of threads it is hard to find the ones which I created. The ones to which I got new replies. CMD+F and searching for my name helps but only if the conversations hasn't been resolved yet. Sometimes I will remember the particular section of code I commented on so I can scroll to it but if it has been rewritten then the conversation won't show up there anymore and instead will be in the outdated section.

Example PR which triggered me to start this discussion redpanda-data/redpanda#25766

And question for community: Any tips you can share for not getting overwhelmed working with such PRs within the constraints of the current design/functionality? Following the conversations in the email client works but only as long as there are few participants in the PR review.

Thank you 🙇‍♂️
