Automatically set the assignee on a new pull request

[ipocentro87]

Hi all, I was wondering whether there is a way to automatically set some fields such as the assignee when a pull request is made. I am using Gitlab.
Thanks in advance!

Not yet, no. Adding support isn't a priority but also not off the table.

I do not intend to implement that.

This is the boilerplate you would need to implement this:

(defun my-forge-create-pullreq-auto-assign ()
  (when (eq forge-edit-post-action 'new-pullreq)
    (setq forge--buffer-assignees
          (secret-sauce forge--buffer-base-branch
                        forge--buffer-head-branch))))

(add-hook 'forge-edit-post-hook
          #'my-forge-create-pullreq-auto-assign)

but you would have to implement the secret-sauce yourself.
