new 6f3eb394cbf [v3-4-test] Add meel-ayush to fork CI pilot and exempt
pilot users from PR cap (#76782) (#76813)
6f3eb394cbf is described below
commit 6f3eb394cbf7ff450895b23671289224999f2475
Author: Jarek Potiuk <[email protected]>

[v3-4-test] Add meel-ayush to fork CI pilot and exempt pilot users from PR
cap (#76782) (#76813)
* Add meel-ayush to fork-ci-gate pilot
* Move meel-ayush pilot join date to 2026-11-11
The previous instant is already in the past, which
check-fork-ci-gate-config rejects.
* Exempt fork CI pilot participants from the open PR limit
Pilot participants run CI in their own forks, so their pull requests
cost the project no runner time; the cap was meant to protect that.
.asf.yaml can now set GitHub's bypass list
(apache/infrastructure-asfyaml#135).
(cherry picked from commit 6a8bc716a3940a8c95eb45412409293a832e551a)

Exceptions
----------
-GitHub supports a bypass list of users who are exempt from the limit. Support
for configuring it
-through ``.asf.yaml`` is being added in
-`apache/infrastructure-asfyaml#135
<https://github.com/apache/infrastructure-asfyaml/pull/135>`__.
-Until it is available, there are no exceptions. Once it is, maintainers may
add contributors to the
-list where it makes sense - for example to let someone open an urgent fix
while they are at the
-limit. If you think you need an exception, ask on the
``[email protected]`` mailing list.
+Users listed under ``bypass_users`` in ``.asf.yaml`` are exempt from the
limit. The list currently
+holds the participants of the fork CI pilot (the ``[pilot]`` section of
``.github/fork-ci-gate.toml``),
+because the CI of their Pull Requests runs in their own forks. Maintainers may
add other contributors
+where it makes sense - for example to let someone open an urgent fix while
they are at the limit. If
+you think you need an exception, ask on the ``[email protected]``
mailing list.
If you believe the limit was applied to you in error - for example your Pull
Requests were closed by
mistake - the appeal channel is the PMC private list; see the
