how to connect emacs (gnus) to github pull-requests discussions

how to connect emacs (gnus) to github pull-requests discussions

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi 

More and more code development is done by pull requests (mostly using
github) One of most annoying thing for me is that I cannot use emacs
more specifically gnus to access these discussions. 

Does somebody know either a possibility to connect gnus to github pull
requests or any other emacs pkg that would allow me to connect emacs to
the github pull request pages

Thanks and regards

Uwe Brauer

Why not?

Github lets you subscribe to any individual issue, pull request, or a
whole repository.

If you are subscribed, Github will send you an email every time
someone posts a comment in that issue or pull request, or if someone
creates a new issue or PR in that repository.

Every such notification email has its Reply-To header set to a unique
email address. Any reply you send to that address will be added as a
comment to the corresponding issue or PR. (It will be interpreted as
Markdown so quoting works as expected. Just don’t overquote.)

(I have not used that facility personally, but I have seen it used.)

I am talking here about, for example the german Covid 19 warn app

https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-app-ios

I have a github account but not write access

Oops, I see

To: corona-warn-app/cwa-wishlist <cwa-wishlist@noreply.github.com>

I interpret the address «@noreply.github.com>», as *do not reply*



But indeed, I did not pay attention later on it is written 

«Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub:»

So you are right. Next time I know! thanks

That’s the address the notification email claims to be addressed *to*.
But if you reply to it, your MUA will normally send to the address
listed in the Reply-To header, which looks like:

    Reply-To: "facebook/create-react-app"
<reply+AAB2IYZ7YU4AJ7CUEJDVFUN5K2XCZEVBNHHCKLNRZA@reply.github.com>

(taken from a random recent notification I received; please do not
actually send mail there unless you have something to say about
<https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/issues/9056>.)

I see, I used  gnus-summary-followup-with-original (old habit) and that
was a mistake, also I think it is better not to (smime/pgp) sign your message

AFAIK it doesn't actually treat it as markdown.
It only handles the usual email convention of quoting of previous text
with `>`.

Currently I am looking for a email--> markdown converter, a bit like 
org-mime that htmlises email, but I try to avoid htmlizing email, but
using markdown seems ok to me in specific situations such as this.
