I'm totally fine with the idea of having a core-specific, short message of "There's a review; the trigger phrase is '...'".

Gotcha :)

Well the useful part of that message is it contains the phrase: "I have made the requested changes; please review again".
I think it's convenient to be able to copy paste it to trigger the next state change.

Maybe for core devs, we can shorten the message to at least include the trigger phrase.

From what I understand, what you're asking is that the state change label still gets applied, (for example the 'awaiting changes' label) but you don't want bedevere-bot to leave the comment "A Python core developer has requested some changes ..." if the PR author is a core developer?

Aye, that's the specific message that makes me roll my eyes and think "Yes, Bedevere, thank you, I already know how that bit of the process works".

I think the other message: "please review the changes made to this pull request" should remain.

Good point, that's a useful prompt regardless of who wrote the original PR.

Cheers,
Nick.
