I feel like putting it on the wiki would not be that useful, though; hopefully the discussion will continue for at most another month or two, and it's mostly just a question of coming to consensus about how exactly we're going to use the queue and model discrete review/resubmit events than doing a bunch of work.  https://github.com/markrwilliams/txghbot is probably most of what we need already, perhaps with one or two slight tweaks?

I'm the owner of txghbot.  I hope it ends up being useful for Twisted!

Despite the stern warning at the top of the README, the process it describes should result in a functioning GitHub bot.

If you feel adventurous you can write your own webhooks.  They're Twisted plugins that implement this interface:

https://github.com/markrwilliams/txghbot/blob/master/txghbot/_core.py#L42-L79

I'll claim the lack of any abstraction over the GitHub Webhook API is intentional; this remains the authoritative documentation:

https://developer.github.com/webhooks/

Please let me know if there's anything I can do to make txghbot make PRs easier for everyone.  If it ends up being at all useful I'm happy to transfer ownership to the Twisted organization.
