GitHub (@github) promotes rendering huge pull requests in the GitHub Copilot app, inviting developers to open their worst pull request there and try it.

The post links to a GitHub Blog article on how the app renders them.

In a follow-up post, GitHub says rendering a million-line diff is easy, but comments are hard because their heights vary with markdown wrapping, expanded details, open reply boxes and images still loading. GitHub says it rebuilt the PR view in the Copilot app to handle this variable comment height, and links a thread explaining the approach.
