llvm dev - Jan 2020 - Infrastructure proposal: Add publish-subscribe mechanism for GitHub events

Hi all,

GitHub Webhooks [1] allow to build for repositories custom tooling and
integrations. Currently adding new webhooks requires involvement of repo admins
and adds a [relatively small] maintenance burden to keep the list of webhooks up
to date.

I propose to add some publish-subscribe mechanism (like [2, 3, 4]) to make it
easier to develop new integrations and to maintain existing ones. The main goal
is to see if the community is interested in the idea, not to discuss specific
services that can be used for this purpose. Just want to note that it is fairly
easy to accomplish and cheap to keep running.

Thanks,
Volodymyr

We discussed this in the past. I think it is a really good idea.
