Using GitHub directly from inside Emacs

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Hi!

I don't use Emacs myself, but I learned last weekend at FOSDEM that
some Emacs users love using the Emacs extension Magit [1] with the
Forge [2] feature to list and review GitHub Pull Requests directly
from Emacs without opening a browser.

Just curious to know if any Emacs users here (Monty?) have tried Magit
for interacting with https://github.com/MariaDB/server/pulls?

There are currently 240 open PRs and 157 have zero reviews [3] from
people with GitHub permissions to give reviews. To get more
contributors, we need to have more people participating in
reviewing/approving incoming contributions. Also some parts of the
contributions process are not very optimal, and the process is likely
to become smoother only if enough of current core developers at least
occasionally "eat their own cooking" and experience (at least parts)
of the contribution process.

Nah. The "Nah" expressed stronger: "NO".

There is only need for awareness that '"Somebody else should do it!" is
a dangerous strategy'

+1 for the "What you do not wish to be done to yourself, do not do to another."

Forge allows you to work with Git forges, currently Github and Gitlab,
from the comfort of Magit and Emacs.

Hi!

Sorry, my email client auto-completed as the "developers" mailing list
the one I usually write to, and not the one this was intended to be
submitted at...

Anyway, I am sure there are some Emacs users here too and if you never
heard about Magit+Forge then maybe this was useful info.
