I think an implementation for this would be similar to the logic for branch deletion on merge. We'd need to add a new config option and do something similar to...

This change hasn't been documented or released yet, but I think it may be what you want: https://github.com/chdsbd/kodiak/pull/516 Although looking at your suggestions it might be less confusing if we...

Do you foresee needing multiple patterns? Also, do you think you'll need anything to do semver comparisons, like only matching on minor version changes?

Would you want to require every PR to have these labels? If so, I think a GitHub action to enforce the label requirements might be helpful.

#516 was replaced with #522 and deployed on Saturday. However, I'm not sure that change is what you want because any of the labels specified by `merge.automerge_label = ["ship it!",...

Good idea. This isn't too hard to implement. We need to add a couple more options to the query that fetches the files: https://github.com/chdsbd/kodiak/blob/2965d2e79f0a7b3984ad64cd57b3b082d6144a59/bot/kodiak/queries.py#L196-L205 For consistency we should probably support...

Yeah, right now we just go in some order: https://github.com/chdsbd/kodiak/blob/2965d2e79f0a7b3984ad64cd57b3b082d6144a59/bot/kodiak/queries.py#L892-L899 We could probably raise a configuration error to the user if multiple configuration files are provided.

Kodiak depends on GitHub Branch Protection to get mergeability information from the GitHub API. Kodiak needs this information to know if a branch is out of date, if status checks...

Kodiak uses the GitHub API for its operations, so we can't easily check if a branch is out of date using git commands. Currently the [`MergeStateStatus` enum](https://developer.github.com/v4/enum/mergestatestatus/) indicates if a...

Is your dependabot example just an example for discussion or an actual issue you've encountered? I think the example in the Kodiak docs should work with rebase merging. https://kodiakhq.com/docs/recipes#automated-dependency-updates-with-dependabot ```toml...
