 toonn | The required permission is still "members: write". | 16:41:40 |
| emily | right, of course | 16:53:52 |
| emily | (I mean, not actually because you can just assign a maintainer for the nixpkgs-maintainers team) | 16:54:15 |
| emily | (but our CI already has write permissions to Nixpkgs) | 16:54:23 |
| toonn | Would it need to write to Nixpkgs? To update handles in the maintainer list, I guess? Can you assign a GH Action as a maintainer? Repository permissions aren't enough to do organization changes, no? | 16:58:49 |
| emily | RFC39 bot doesn't write to Nixpkgs, no | 17:07:14 |
| emily | I believe you can assign bot accounts as team maintainers, although I'm not 100% on the nuance with GitHub Apps there. | 17:07:47 |
