Re: [LAZY] Enabling Github pull requests in Apache Flex

I just got word from INFRA that the hooks have been deployed.

Alex, can you please subscribe asfbot@urd.zones.apache.org to the dev@
mailing list so that the "reply-to" feature enabled?

Once that is done, we can start testing the workflow.

Thanks,
Om

Re: [LAZY] Enabling Github pull requests in Apache Flex

Technically, there are several moderators on dev@ who are faster at
moderating than I am.  Last one I saw from git@git.a.o was titled
"[GitHub] flex-sdk pull request: Fix MenuBar.styleChanged() crash bug" and
from you.

I think there were 3 total with that subject.

If another PR gets processed, theoretically the moderators won't have to
get involved.

Yes the other one is also part of making GitHub more integrated with our
