Hi Beam Community,

Early on in the project, we had a number of discussions about creating an
automated tool for merging pull requests. I’m happy to announce that we’ve
developed such a tool and it is ready for experimental usage in Beam!

The tool, MergeBot, works in conjunction with ASF’s existing GitBox tool,
providing numerous benefits:
* Automating the merge process -- instead of many manual steps with
multiple Git remotes, merging is as simple as commenting a specific command
in GitHub.
* Automatic verification of each pull request against the latest master
code before merge.
* Merge queue enforces an ordering of pull requests, which ensures that
pull requests that have bad interactions don’t get merged at the same time.
* GitBox-enabled features such as reviewers, assignees, and labels.
* Enabling enhanced use of tools like reviewable.io.

If you are a committer, the first step is to link your Apache and GitHub
accounts at http://gitbox.apache.org/setup. Once the accounts are linked,
you should have immediate access to new GitHub features like labels,
assignees, etc., as well as the ability to merge pull requests by simply
commenting “@asfgit merge” on the pull request. MergeBot will communicate
its status back to you via the same mechanism used already by Jenkins.

This functionally is currently enabled for the “beam-site” repository only.
In this phase, we’d like to gather feedback and improve the user experience
-- so please comment back early and often. Once we are happy with the
experience, we’ll deploy it on the main Beam repository, and recommend it
for wider adoption.

I’d like to give a huge thank you to the Apache Infrastructure team,
especially Daniel Pono Takamori, Daniel Gruno, and Chris Thistlethwaite who
were instrumental in bringing this project to fruition. Additionally, this
could not have happened without the extensive work Davor put in to keep
things moving along. Thank you Davor.

Looking forward to hearing your comments and feedback. Thanks.

Jason
