# GitHub handles approved to bypass the contribution auto-close gate.
#
# Format: <username> <capability>
#   issue   their future ISSUES stay open
#   pr      their future ISSUES *and* PRs stay open
#
# Repository collaborators (write / maintain / admin) are ALWAYS exempt and do
# not need to be listed here — the gate checks collaborator permission first.
#
# Default maintainers (pre-approved for issues + PRs):
relaydeck pr
#
# Maintainers grant access to others by replying on an issue:
#   `lgtmi`  -> adds the issue author with capability `issue`
#   `lgtm`   -> adds the issue author with capability `pr`
# The approve-contributor workflow appends the entry below automatically.
#
# One entry per line, e.g.:
#   octocat pr
