The idea

After installing a pull request's build, an opt-in Tell the pull request you're testing: the tester signs in with their git.magicbean.dev account (OAuth, from the launcher), and a short comment goes on the pull request from their own account, with the system (OS, GPU, driver). For a maintainer or someone who may push, it can also add them as reviewer.

Why: it makes the tester a participant (they hear of new pushes), and counts them among the people who looked, which the picker orders by. It cannot be automatic: the launcher reads anonymously, Forgejo lets only the author or a writer request a reviewer, and an install is not a test.

Anything else

A follow-up of #337 (testing pull requests from the launcher): CI in #353, the launcher's picker in LongshotLauncher pull request 59.

Opened by mistake: its idea is now a follow-up in the list on #337. Closing; a maintainer may delete it.
