Yes, that is certainly possible. This would mean that the bot would be
used to give early feedback to contributors whenever a (style) mistake
was made, rather than only when a maintainer would look at the patch and
try to apply it - But it wouldn't really help getting patches applied
faster.
But even so it might be useful to do.
