Description

Description of the new feature/enhancement

The pipelines run on PR's even when submitted as a draft. This is useful for staging PR's that should be merged in a particular order. However, when a PR is converted from draft to "Ready for review", if it is ready to be merged, wingetbot will wait until its next check-in period for the PR before merging it.

I propose that when a PR is converted from draft, wingetbot checks to see if it it is ready for merge. If it can be merged, merge the PR.

Optionally, I would also suggest that if a converted PR has an error label such as "Validation-Installation-Error", "Internal-Error" or any of the other transient errors which may be resolved by a re-run of the pipeline, then re-run the pipeline.

Research direction

Start by locating wingetbot's handling of pull requests converted from draft and its policy check-in or merge path. Check how transient error labels and pipeline reruns are represented. Done means a converted PR is checked immediately, eligible PRs are merged, and applicable transient errors trigger reruns.
