Hi everyone,

As those of you who were at the recent contributor’s meeting are aware, we’re planning to launch a PlayStation EWS in the near future!

We’ve had post-merge buildbots running for years, but we’ve not been able to have an EWS until now due to the potential for malicious PRs.

As such, this EWS will involve a new feature: it will only run when the PR author is in some sense a “known contributor”.

Specifically, our current plan is to check that the GitHub user belongs to the committers team.
This is an imperfect definition, but it allows the EWS to be as secure as a post-merge buildbot, by letting “mergeable” imply “non-malicious”.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to reach out here or on Slack!

Thanks,

Ross
