Hi everyone, (Crossposting to dev@serf and dev@subversion since it is the same for both communities).
When we get pull requests in GitHub for either project, we still have to download the patch and commit manually to Subversion. In the log message, we can use the special syntax "This fixes #NNN in GitHub" (or, I believe, "Closes #NNN") where NNN is the PR number. See Subversion's HACKING[1]. This has to be in the initial log message, it doesn't help to add it later by editing the log message. If we for some reason want to close the PR without making a commit (or we've made the commit and forgot to add the log message), we have to do this directly in GitHub. This requires the Triage role (authz bit) in GitHub on your GitHub account. To get this we have to request it user-by-user from Infra, see the reply by GavinMcDonald in JIRA[2]. It doesn't seem like Infra require any particular discussion/vote about this so I assume they just verify that a request comes from a committer in that particular project. I'm going to put in a request for myself in Serf (I already have that role in Subversion), if anyone else wants to join please chime in so we can request everyone at the same time. (I plan on sending the request on Friday). Cheers, Daniel [1] https://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/conventions.html#github [2] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-27048
