Configurable pull/merge requests

[nijel]

Describe the problem

Currently, Weblate creates merge (pull) requests with provided text, but offers no further customization.

What might be useful to set as well:

• Assignee of the pull request (text field for username)
• Assign to acting user, if available (checkbox)
• Automatic merging (dropdown, selecting merge style)
• Add labels

Both will require additional privileges for Weblate on the repository – a regular contributor cannot change properties of the request.

Describe the solution you'd like

Additional fields in the component configuration to customize VCS behavior. This is pretty similar to #1897 plans for the file formats.

Describe alternatives you've considered

An alternative approach could be an add-on to adjust this. This might be a good fit as well, as turning this on will require granting Weblate more privileges on the repository as well.

This issue has been added to the backlog. It is not scheduled on the Weblate roadmap, but it eventually might be implemented.

In case you need this feature soon, please consider helping or push it by funding the development.

Would be great to be able to set an assignee on a merge request! Unfortunately I'm not able to support developing this.
