[Wikitech-l] Minding pull-requests on GitHub

2014-04-18 Thread Ori Livneh
I just stumbled across https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-core/pull/19, a small but useful contribution to core from an HHVM developer. It has gone unnoticed for two months, which is a bit sad. Is there a way to accept pull-requests from GitHub? According to

In this case, the developer was replied to by Krenair in a second PR they opened for the same issue, so at least they weren't ignored, just looks like the first PR wasn't closed along with the second one: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-core/pull/20 The code for Yuvi's SuchABot is here:
