Sure, I sort of asked this in the past: what are the generated files, how to identify them, is there a pattern?
I need to dig up that thread and find out if anyone answered. It's been a while :) Usually there would be conflict in backport though. It was suggested that cherry-picker can regenerate the files and resolve the conflict. Your suggestion of having miss Islington comment on the PR sounds good too.

The original fix on master: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/5481 Miss Islington’s back port to 3.7: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/5498 Miss Islington was not able to auto-pick this into 3.6, which makes sense. I got a little concerned though that the back port touches those two generated files, and didn’t feel comfortable just pushing the Big Green Button. I chatted with Brett and he also agreed that the merge should probably be done manually. So for the 3.7 merge, I actually followed the GitHub CLI merge instructions, regenerated the .h files, pushed the branch, and opened a new PR: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/5503/files Once CI passed, I hit the BGB and the merge occurred as normal. For the 3.6 fix, I used cherry_pick, resolved the conflicts manually, regen’d the header files, pushed the branch, and submitted a new PR: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/5504 This one’s still running CI, but if it passes, I’ll merge it. I wanted to mention this because maybe Miss Islington should flag, warn, or otherwise indicate when autogenerated files are being merged? Are there any other files other than the importlib .h files that we should take extra care with?
