MNT: Have a bot to auto-backport as PR
See original GitHub issueWhen a PR against master
is merged, it would be desirable to have a bot to automatically open up follow-up PR(s) to backport changes that are just merged against older release branch(es), depending on the relevant PR milestone.
If the automatic backport PR(s) encounter difficulties, such as failed CI or conflicts, the bot should then take follow-up actions (apply special labels or create comments) so that manual intervention can be done.
If possible, we should not “roll our own,” but rather look at how other major projects are doing their backports, and see how we can reuse existing solutions. If all fails, @Cadair said he has a special hack that works “half the time”…
It is something we should aim for sooner than later, so I am going to add a milestone to this issue.
