Does it mean that https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit 
<https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit> will become an usual repository (not GitHub 
sync-ed mirror repository) which is mirrored by ourselves?
Previously, when I tried, GitHub-mirrored repository does not invoke web-hooks 
correctly, and it was the reason why I needed to create WKR bots.
But if WebKit in GitHub repository becomes an usual repository (while it is 
mirrored, it is not mirrored by GitHub side), I think this is a good timing to 
setting up GitHub <-> slack integration to put commits into #changes and 
retiring WKR bot (while WebKitBot exists).
