[SciPy-Dev] Pull request workflow

[Pauli Virtanen]

Hi,

Just a quick comment on pull request workflow on scipy:

- there's a "needs-work" label for PRs that have specific actionable
  changes required before OK for merging

- there's a "needs-decision" label for PRs that are stalled on a design
  decision

Unfortunately, Github UI does not indicate when new commits are added to
PRs, potentially invalidating the "needs-work" label. It's also
unrealistic to expect that the ~30 mails Github spews daily are read
through and the labels updated manually.

Luckily, with some scripting the relevant information on PRs with new
commits and the labeling times can be retrieved from Github API. There's
an automatic list here, provided on an as-is basis:

(Currently there are none, since I just went through them.)
