Reading the message below, that would do the same. E.g. no one bothered to review my PR in 5 months, and now you're asking me to rebase? If that's asked for, them much better if a human does it. Other thought: there were a number of people uncomfortable with the pep8 bot we used to have. This one would be more intrusive. Cheers, Ralf > > All the best, > > Marten > > p.s.
