This Month in Bors checklist:

• Update the issue number in the title area

• Update the month in the date area

• Update the month in the description area

• Update the URL in the "last month" PR link

• Update the PR count in the PR paragraph

• Generate the "notable additions" list

• Generate the "new contributors" list

• Find a new featured user

• Find a screenshot

And, this should be the last thing you do:

• Create, and link in, next month's PR

my reading trip about bors started in the blogpost of the creator of bors, went through homu, the different forks and I am now reading this repo.

Do you mind writing a bit about:

• Short summary of what are the different bors, homus, bors-ngs versions
• Why did you start this project?
• Why elixir?
• Why did you implemented a batching strategy instead of parallel?
• More questions to come as I read the code :)

[notriddle]

I wouldn't put this in the newsletter, so let's move this stuff into separate issues in the bors-ng.github.io repo. 😄

Interested in featuring nix-rust/nix this month.

@notriddle what does "featuring" mean / entail? I think we'd be fine with it after kicking the tyres a bit more. Our conversion PR: nix-rust/nix#584

[notriddle]

The other one I had in mind would be georust. @frewsxcv has been using bors-ng there since before it was called bors-ng and was still written in Rust.

[kamalmarhubi]

Perhaps that would be a better first fit. We really are just starting out with bors-ng, and haven't yet had a chance to see how the batching helps things.

[frewsxcv]

Feel free to feature GeoRust, bors-ng and all its predecessors have been helpful for us
