Introduce required-checks CI job - #21
Merged

Conversation
GitHub Actions comes with an auto-merge feature, which allows for automatically merging PRs once certain requirements are met. For us, these requirements would be the passing of all CI checks. Alas, their !@#*&()$&@!(#* configuration requires us to explicitly list all CI jobs that need to pass, which is an absolute maintenance nightmare. To improve on the situation at least somewhat, introduce a job that captures all required checks, so that the definition of this arbitrary entity is at least co-located with the definition of these jobs and not hidden behind four layers of clicky-bunti UI fluff.
