closedmgr/dashboard: Automate merging pull requests using Mergify
0%
Description
This was brought up during today's stand-up: the process of merging pending github pull requests should be fully automated. This removes the bottleneck of having an individual performing this task manually.
There is a third-party service called Mergify that could be utilized for this.
We should evaluate the functionality and define a workflow that would make sense for the majority of Dashboard PRs to pass through this workflow without manual interaction.
Some things to consider: how to deal with tests that fail quite frequently, e.g. make check on ARM64? How about QA tests that are triggered and checked manually? What are the risks of automating the final step of merging a PR?

FWIW, the ceph-ansible project already uses Mergify for performing merges and backports

It will be nice if the tool can also handle situations like one PR can only be merged after another one is merged.
Or at least the tool can provide some exception rules to be defined: for example, a PR with DNM label should not be merged automatically.
