Daniel P. Berrangé	a4cf8294b1	github: enable lockdown of issues and merge requests ... Libvirt uses GitHub as an automated read-only mirror. The goals were to have a disaster recovery backup for libvirt.org, a way to make it easy for people to clone their own private copy of libvirt Git, and finally as a way to interact with apps like Travis. The project description was set to a message telling people that we don't respond to pull requests. This was quite a negative message to potential contributors, and also did not give them any guidance about the right way to submit to libvirt. Many also missed the description and submitted issues or pull requests regardless. It is possible to disable the issue tracker in GitHub, but there is no way to disable merge requests. Disabling the issue tracker would also leave the problem of users not being given any positive information about where they should be reporting instead. There is a fairly new 3rd party application built for GitHub that provides a bot which auto-responds to both issues and merge requests, closing and locking them, with a arbitrary comment: https://github.com/apps/repo-lockdown This commit adds a suitable configuration file for libvirt, which tries to give a positive response to user's issue/pullreq and guide them to the desired contribution path on GitLab.
