Teach marge-bot how to backport merge requests
Hi,
Something that'd be really neat would be to use marge-bot not only for rebasing and merging merge requests, but also backport to selected stable branches.
I imagine this would work by marge-bot doing the following.
(0. Wait for merge-request proper to land)
- Creating a new backport branch
- Rebasing that backport branch on top of the stable branch
- Creating a merge request for said branch
- Automatically assign itslef to said merge request
- Merge as usual
I imagine the "user interface" could be doing things like "@ marge-bot, backport stable-branch-1-2-3"
Does this sound like something within scope of marge-bot's abilities?
