question: running in CI and CI timeout
Hello :wave:
I started using marge-bot for automatic merge-queue handling and first trying the simple approach running it in [GitLab CI](https://gitlab.com/marge-org/marge-bot#running-marge-bot-in-ci) as scheduled pipeline job (each 5 minutes).
First investigations:
- during the runs it takes some time to process the assigned MRs
- marge bot is blocking on each MR and waits for CI to finish
- depending on CI pipeline it can take minutes to hours to finish them
Questions:
- what is the best strategy to configure the `MARGE_CI_TIMEOUT` ?
- we know it does not make sense to wait for the pipeline in "blocking mode"
- should we set it to `0` or some minimum seconds timeout `5s`?
- if the timeout is reached, can we prevent marge to re-assign to originator as we know next run will check the pipeline status again and just merge if already succeeded?
Thanks :smiley:
