Props Bot is a GitHub Action that processes the activity on a pull request and any linked issues.

The bot attempts to associate each GitHub use account with a linked w.org one and outputs a formatted list of Co-authored-by trailers that can be copied and pasted into the merge commit message.

This ensures that everyone who contributed to a given merge receives props for their effort, and that the list of contributors is predictably formatted for easy processing.

This bot is currently in the following repositories under the WordPress organization:

More details about the bot can be found in the original announcement post on the Make WordPress Core blog.
