Unable to create a PR from https://qchateau.github.io/conan-center-bot/#/updatable

Hi,

I'm unable to create a PR from https://qchateau.github.io/conan-center-bot/#/updatable.
Trying to create a PR for libde265 I get a "Pull request creation failed. Validation failed: must be a collaborator" error message.
See also comments from conan-io/conan-center-index#18603 (comment).

Regards.

I'm hitting the same error trying to create a PR for mcap: https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/compare/conan-io:master...qchateau:ccb-mcap-1.2.0?expand=1

FWIW, cc @ericLemanissier - I get the same error when trying to use your fork as well. https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/compare/conan-io:master...ericLemanissier:ccb-mcap-1.2.0?expand=1

OK. It must be that either CCI or github policy is refusing pull requests if the submitter is not contributor to the source repository.

[qchateau]

Yes it still works for me. I tried to change a few settings, can you retry from mine ?
Else, try to fork my fork (...) and open your PR from there

[ericLemanissier]

Same error. Maybe it's because of Allowing edits by maintainers which is ticked by default?

[jtbandes]

I still get the same error too. It seems like it could be a GitHub policy. Would it make sense to enable the bot itself to submit a PR (perhaps only upon request)?

[qchateau]

CCI owners did not want me to automatically open Para, and doing it "upon request" doesn't seem super easy to implement without additional infrastructure

[jtbandes]

Do you think it's an issue with the upstream repo or with the fork? Maybe we should reach out to GitHub support to understand what the error really means by "must be a collaborator"?

[ericLemanissier]

This should be raised to github support yes. It happens when the person submitting the PR is not a collaborator to the fork being pulled, so the issue could originate in both the fork or the upstream.

And updates on this?
