[matplotlib-devel] backport bot

[Thomas C. <tca...@gm...>]

Folks,

Matthias as just helped us to install the meeseeks bot than ipython /
jupyter is using to help with their backporting onto matplotlib.

For details, see https://github.com/MeeseeksBox/MeeseeksDev .

The most important command is

@MeeseeksDev backport [to] {branch}

to automatically open a PR with the backport against the correct branch.

Currently the bot will only respond to:

        'tacaswell',
        'QuLogic',
        'anntzer',
        'NelleV',
        'dstansby',
        'efiring',
        'choldgraf'

We will open this up more as we sort out if we like this and how to use it.


Tom
