Description

I was hoping to use the we blurb_it to write a NEWS entry for someone's PR that currently lacked one while reviewing it. Unfortunately only appear to be able to grant it access to my own cpython fork rather than PR branches in other people's forks.

Obviously I can't grant it blanket write access to everything I have access to so I'm not sure there is anything that can be done about this. I'm just filing the issue to as a 🦄 "wouldn't it be nice if" 🦄 idea.

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by reviewing blurb_it's current authorization behavior for writing NEWS entries to cpython pull requests and compare it with permissions for a user's own fork. Define whether safely granting access to another contributor's PR branch is feasible without blanket repository access. Done means a documented, secure approach or a clear explanation of why the capability cannot be supported.
