Overview:
Our current VSCode extension supports highlighting and managing annotations like TODO and FIXME, but the handling of REVIEW annotations is not as robust or visible. This issue aims to address the enhancement of REVIEW annotations to improve code review processes and maintain high code quality.

Problem Statement:
REVIEW annotations are not sufficiently highlighted, making them easy to overlook during code reviews.
There is no easy way to list all REVIEW annotations across the project, which is crucial for large-scale projects where tracking code reviews and their statuses is essential.
Current color schemes and visibility settings for REVIEW annotations do not stand out enough, especially in various editor themes.
Desired Enhancements:
Distinct Highlighting: Introduce a unique and more visible styling for REVIEW annotations that distinguishes them clearly from other annotations like TODO or FIXME.
Listing Functionality: Implement a command to list all REVIEW annotations in the project, helping developers quickly navigate and address these comments.
Customizable Settings: Provide configurable options in the extension settings to allow users to customize the look and behavior of REVIEW annotation highlights according to their preferences.
Use Cases:
Developers: Quickly identifying and navigating to REVIEW comments during coding and reviewing processes.
Reviewers: Ensuring that all REVIEW annotations are addressed before finalizing code merges, enhancing the code quality.
Project Managers: Monitoring the progress of code reviews by tracking the REVIEW annotations across multiple files and modules.
Expected Benefits:
Enhanced visibility and management of REVIEW annotations will lead to more efficient and thorough code reviews.
Customizable options will allow users to adapt the features to fit their workflow and visual preferences, increasing the usability of the extension.
Overall improvement in code quality and project management by ensuring that all review comments are adequately addressed.
Suggested Solution:
Implement enhancements as described in the desired enhancements section.
Test the new features across different themes and configurations to ensure compatibility and user satisfaction.
