Re: [RFC] Automating patch pushes to trunk via the bot
Yuao Ma proposes enabling a bot to automatically push/merge approved patches to the GCC trunk, citing OpenJDK’s Skara bot as a precedent. This aims to streamline the contribution process by reducing manual interaction after code reviews. The discussion touches on the current workflow, the value proposition of using a web-based system for merging, and the need for more engagement with the forge.
