review-bot to fine tune review requirements (#1673)
Created a Github Action that uses the [Review-Bot app](https://github.com/paritytech/review-bot) to require more fine tuned requirements to review pull requests before allowing the PR to be merged. This uses [`pull_request_target`](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/events-that-trigger-workflows#pull_request_target) for the event, not `pull_request`. This is a security measure so that an attacker doesn’t have access to the secrets. All the rules have been copied from the original `.github/pr-custom-review.yml` file. I want to clarify, this particular commit is **not intended to replace PRCR yet**. # Advantages it brings over `PRCR` Most of the features available in `PRCR` have been duplicated and enhanced. For a complete detailed write up, please see: - paritytech/pr-custom-review#114 -> Proposal for the rewrite - [Review Bot Documentation](https://github.com/paritytech/review-bot/blob/main/README.md) The most important features are: - `include` and `exclude` fields now accept an array, making it easier to read the regular expressions. - Ability to skip a rule - We can set that PRs coming from a particular user or team will cause the rule to be skipped. - This is used in the `Audit rule`, which was requested by @the-right-joyce. - This resolves paritytech/pr-custom-review#136 - Ability to request fellows instead of teams - As requested in polkadot-fellows/runtimes#7, this bot has the ability to request fellows by rank instead of users. - We currently have polkadot-fellows/runtimes#31 which is using that feature. Aside from all the rules available in `PRCR` I have added a particular rule to lock the review-bot files and require a review from the `locks-review` team, the @paritytech/ci team and the @paritytech/opstooling team to ensure that the file has been written correctly. ## Next steps The next steps will consist on paritytech/review-bot#53, once this issue has been resolved, and `review-bot` has worked without any issues on this repository for a while, we will upgrade it to be able to fully replace `PRCR`.
NOTE: We have recently made significant changes to our repository structure. In order to streamline our development process and foster better contributions, we have merged three separate repositories Cumulus, Substrate and Polkadot into this repository. Read more about the changes here.
Polkadot SDK
The Polkadot SDK repository provides all the resources needed to start building on the Polkadot network, a multi-chain blockchain platform that enables different blockchains to interoperate and share information in a secure and scalable way. The Polkadot SDK comprises three main pieces of software:
Polkadot
Implementation of a node for the https://polkadot.network in Rust, using the Substrate framework. This directory
currently contains runtimes for the Polkadot, Kusama, Westend, and Rococo networks. In the future, these will be
relocated to the runtimes repository.
Substrate
Substrate is the primary blockchain SDK used by developers to create the parachains that make up the Polkadot network. Additionally, it allows for the development of self-sovereign blockchains that operate completely independently of Polkadot.
Cumulus
Cumulus is a set of tools for writing Substrate-based Polkadot parachains.
