Add "Reviewed by me" (reviewed-by:) tab on https://github.com/pulls/ page

Body

I rely on the https://github.com/pulls as my main reference point for any pull requests in GitHub that require my attention. I use the "Review requests" tab to find a pull request that I have been requested to review. Then I go to the pull request and add a review. After that, my pull request is effectively "lost" as it now falls through the cracks and doesn't appear in any of the other tabs.

I discovered I can manually change the filter from review-requested: to reviewed-by: and this gives the desired result. That's an OK workaround in a pinch, but I don't want to have to do that regularly. I think a "Reviewed by me" tab would help speed up this process considerably.

If there is a better way to find PRs that I have already reviewed, please let me know. I work mostly with Azure DevOps and I still find the GitHub way of doing things a bit confusing.

This is such a good idea! I've had the same frustration - you review a PR and then it just... disappears into the void.

The Problem

Right now the workflow is:

See PR in "Review requests" ✓
Add your review ✓
PR vanishes from all tabs ← wait, what?
You're left wondering "did I already review this?" or "what happened with that PR I looked at yesterday?" It's especially annoying when you want to follow up or see if your feedback was addressed.

Your Workaround Is Actually the Best Current Solution

The reviewed-by: filter is exactly what you need, but yeah, having to manually type it every time is tedious. You could bookmark it:

https://github.com/pulls?q=is:open+is:pr+reviewed-by:@me
But that's still not as convenient as a built-in tab.

Coming from Azure DevOps

I feel you on the confusion. Azure DevOps keeps reviewed PRs visible in your dashboard, which makes way more sense for tracking things. GitHub's approach of "out of sight, out of mind" once you review something is... not ideal.

What Would Help

A "Reviewed by me" tab would be perfect. It would show:

PRs you've already reviewed
Their current status (approved, changes requested, commented)
Whether new commits were added since your review
This would make it so much easier to track PRs through their lifecycle instead of losing them after your first review.

Alternative Workaround

Until GitHub adds this, you could:

Use the "Mentioned" tab (if you comment, you'll be mentioned)
Save that reviewed-by:@me search as a browser bookmark
Use the GitHub CLI: gh pr list --search "reviewed-by:@me"
But honestly, a dedicated tab should just exist. This feels like a pretty common workflow that GitHub should support natively.

Hope they consider adding this - it would make PR management so much smoother!
