The current backport action cannot automerge because the github action bot does not trigger github CI actions. Mergify instead does not have this limitation and can also use a merge queue.
On top we have now a declarative configuration to allow contributers to mark new tests as required without having access to the github org.
An example pull request and backport can be seen here:
Mic92#4
and here:
Mic92#5
To complete the setup the mergify app must be enabled for this repository. It's already installed in the nixos organization for nixos-hardware and other repositories. Just go to
the settings for this repository and click on "GitHub Apps"
