Yeah, it wasn't easy. But then, who does not like a little challenge,
especially the challenge to test things outside of production? So here
is a PR: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/gitgitgadget/pull/148

I trust everybody with even rudimentary Javascript skills to be able to
provide useful feedback on that PR.

Wow, thanks for working on this! I don't know that I'd call my
javascript skills even rudimentary, but I did give it a look. The real
challenge to me is not the individual lines of code, but understanding
how the Azure Pipelines and GitHub App systems fit together. So I didn't
see anything wrong, but I also know very little about those systems.

Likewise, the explanations in your comments and commit messages all made
sense to me. But that may also be a false sense of security. You nicely
led me through reading the patches, but the likely bug would probably be
one you did not even anticipate. ;)

To build some confidence in my patches (as you probably know, I do not
trust reviews as much as I trust real-life testing, although I do prefer
to have both) I "kind of" activated it on my fork, limited to act only
on comments _I_ made on PRs (and sending only to me instead of the
list), and it seems to work all right, so far. I cannot say for sure
whether it handles the PR labels correctly, but I guess time will tell,
and I will fix bugs as quickly as I can.

Yeah, that makes sense to me. Going from one repo to three is not much
worse than going to two, so it's good to have a testing area, too.

Do you want any third-party testing there (e.g., a user who isn't you
making a PR against dscho/git)?

Question is: should I turn this thing on? I.e. install that
GitGitGadget-Git App on https://github.com/git/git? This would allow
GitHub users to `/submit` directly from PRs opened in that repository. I
am sure that there are a few kinks to work out, but I do think that it
should not take long to stabilize.

I'd say "yes". The status quo is probably worse than a system with a few
bugs. The worst case if it's disastrously wasting submitter's time is
that we turn it back off, but I have faith that you'd just fix the bugs
before then anyway.

Is the existing Pipelines integration enough for you to turn it on for
git/git, or do I need to tweak any settings?
