Rob Tompkins commented on MATH-1357:
------------------------------------
Github provides the mechanics to fire an http request anywhere we want at time
of a pull request opening or changing. In the past I have created a completely
separate jenkins job that handles all the pull request validation. Then that
job sends another http request back to the pull request stating what checks
pass and/or fail.
The status checks then show up on the pull request similar to the way the
travis-ci checks show up on Eric's original PR:

> Create Github Pull Request Template
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: MATH-1357
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1357
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 3.6.1
> Reporter: Rob Tompkins
> Priority: Trivial
> Labels: github
> Fix For: 3.7
>
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h

> I would like to have at the root of {{commons-math}} a directory named
> {{.github}} with a file named {{PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md}} that automatically
> populates the body of pull requests.
> For example, angular.js has the following
> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/angular/angular.js/master/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
> Further we can include anything between the delimiters {{<!-- Some comment
> here -->}} will be seen by the github user opening the pull request, but not
> actually included in the comment. For example consider the one on the
> spring-boot project:
> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/master/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
> I would propose we have the following:
> * A link to the CONTRIBUTING.md file in the project, which explains how to
> contribute. I would include this in the {{<!-- -->}} delimited section, as it
> is unnecessary to actually persist into the github pull request comment body.
> * A request to link to a Jira ticket number (which is relatively trivial to
> include).
> * A checkbox for the apache contributor agreement having been signed and
> emailed in.
