Recently there was some discussion (probably in a NixCon video) that we should have some way to mention people on pull requests which they may be interested in. Facebook just released this bot which uses git blame to guess who to mention, and it requires 0 effort on our part to integrate. Maybe we should try it?

Obviously it would be nice to have a bot which uses the maintainer information embedded in nixpkgs, but that would take time to code and doesn't seem likely to actually happen. On the other hand, mention-bot could be set up and running one minute from now, so I suggest we try it.

cc @edolstra @rbvermaa since they seem to be the only people with sufficient privilege level

👍 We definitely need something to scale with the increasing number of pull-requests.
