It is 2023 but for me #Github runners are new, flashy and exciting thing. I put some for my #zmodem2 crate ( basic CI tests).I discovered these functionalities for the first time in 2022 while at #Profian, and working on #Enarx.
I was thinking that I could start to mirror my kernel.org tree to GIthub just to run some CI but can you disable PR's completely? If not, then I think I pass . What about #Gitlab?
Have not used Gitlab that much David (Howells) just set me up access for keyutils repository so have to learn to use it more.
What has turned me away so far from Gitlab is that already Github is sometimes really feeling like someone was drilling a hole through my head and Gitlab on surface looks to have even more all kinds of weird controls and looks somewhat scary but perhaps the real truth is different than my prejudice :-)

@jarkko I'm working on making GitHub PRs usable for code review. You will be able to convert a pull request into a patch series archived on lore. If you are willing, I'd be happy to have a test subject to try these ideas and figure out what works and what doesn't.

@monsieuricon I mean since it cannot be disabled I can just as well use it for something.
I could also see that it could be nice way to reduce noise in LKML when you specifically ask someone to drop a "quick fix". So yeah, I'm interested to try it. I'll do the fork tomorrow (it is 9PM in Finland ATM). It'll be `jarkkojs/linux-tpmdd`.

@monsieuricon Or another use case is ideas of fixes discussed during in LKML, which sometimes are now put as an attachment. That would work also for them.

@jarkko Ok, I will pull you into a conversation on the tools list for further details.

@monsieuricon did you cc already btw? did not see anything but that said no rush. i had troubles to do a kernel tree to github :-) only way i managed to do that was to first fork linus' mirror and then push the delta from my tree but yeah i have a tree ready.

@monsieuricon lot to digest, i did read it couple of times yesterday but really have to digest before responding. one constraint which should probably be set that it should be adaptable somehow to gitlab later on (not meaning that it must adapt right now but make sure that it is doable).

@jarkko For sure -- the goal is to be forge-agnostic as much as possible. I believe most of the work to handle GH pull requests will lend itself fairly straightforwardly to GL MRs (but I may be overly optimistic here, who knows).
