cla-bot does not seem to work with Github Merge queue feature + required action

[therapon]

It looks like if you have the

1. merge queue feature enabled for your repo
2. cla-bot configured
3. add the verification/cla-signed action as required

Then once a PR is placed in the merge queue the verification/cla-signed action that is required never runs/responds. As a result the PR hangs in the merge queue until we reach the maximum time for an action to respond. At that point then PR gets removed from the merge queue and does not get merged.

Not sure if there is a workaround here. The verification/cla-signed "action" is part of the cla-bot and I am not sure I can "wrap it" in another action that calls it and skips when in a merge queue. Any other ideas for a work around?

Hi @therapon , sorry for the very late reply; as you may have already noticed, the project is not active, and it's probably going to be archived soon (the github repository will stay, but in read-only state); we used to run the cla-bot at FINOS, but we've switched to https://easycla.lfx.linuxfoundation.org a few years back; for this reason, we've discontinued our support to the project.

That said, if you are interested to lead this project, I'd be happy to keep it running and jump on a quick call to explain you more what this entitles.
