Automating manual cherry-pick detection requires GitHub Actions expertise.
The issue addresses the problem of missing labels on original PRs after manual cherry-picks, proposing automation to detect and label them correctly. The solution involves GitHub Actions and may require specific PR content, but linking closed PRs is uncertain.
When the automatic cherry-pick workflow fails for a given pull request, it can be easy to forget to add the Backported to label on the original PR once the one manually performing a git cherry-pick is performed. This can be problematic because the change may be left out of certain lists generated programatically.
It would be great if a manual cherry-pick command could be detected automatically when a pull request is merged to a wp/* or release/* branch and the original PR is labelled appropriately.
This may require a specific sentence to be included in the PR itself. It seems that closed PRs cannot be linked, but this would also work if possible.
