Hi everyone, As you might have noticed there is a new face on GitLab: Meet @marge-bot. Marge will be helping us with the pain of merging merge requests: Currently the typical workflow to merge an accepted MR involves the following: 1. Rebase the MR on top of the current `master` branch 2. Click on the "Merge when pipeline succeeds" button 3. Wait. 4. If another MR is merged before yours, return to step (1) Given the volume of patches that we have, this process gets tiresome quite quickly. Upstream knows [1] about this issue and is actively working towards a solution which will likely be ready in a few months. In the meantime, Marge automates this currently-manual process. With Marge merging a patch involves just two steps: 1. Ensure that the MR has at least one approval. This should happen in the course of normal review but ping @bgamari, @alpmestan, @osa1, or @tdammers if this was forgotten. 2. Use the "Assignee" field in the sidebar on the right side of the MR to assign it to @marge-bot. Once Marge notices your MR she will dutifully watch over it, rebasing it as necessary until it is merged. If something goes awry, she will leave a (hopefully) helpful message and assign the MR back to you. So far Marge has been working out reasonably well and seems to be an improvement over the status quo. However, she still has some quirks so let me know if you think she is behaving erratically or otherwise have questions. Cheers, - Ben
