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 add new tests to 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. (cherry picked from commit 80f20fa)
