Allow substituting PR author in the title and description templates. This allows the PR title to mimic the message that GH would autogenerate in release notes, so backported PRs don't look out of place and don't have to be manually fixed.
pr_title_template: '%source_pr_title% by @%source_pr_author% in #%source_pr_number% (backport to %target_branch%)'
would backport with title:
Update CONTRIBUTING.md by @nohwnd in #2605 (backport to rel/5.x.x)
Which will then autogenerate into release notes as:
Update CONTRIBUTING.md by @nohwnd in #2605 (backport to rel/5.x.x) by @dotnet-bot in #2606
And I can go and simply delete the by dotnet bot and backport PR title, or keep it if needed.
Proof that the change works:
I did not prefix the name with
@
in the replacement to keep it consistent with the PR name that also does not prefix#
.
