Can Mergify set labels on PRs that update mergify.yml?

[nixpanic]

When Mergify detects changes to .mergify.yml it will not merge PRs automatically, but maintainers of the repository need to do this.

Unfortunately, it also seems that labels are not set on the PR where .mergify.yml is modified. This does not seem like a critical operation that depends on the maintainer of the repository. I wonder if this is intentional, or if it can be changed in the future.

Hi @nixpanic!

This is intentional. For now, Mergify completely ignores any pull request that touches its configuration file.

We agree that we should probably remove some of the limitations and keep the check on the merge/queue actions.

I added this to our backlog.

Thanks for the update! I'll keep our mergify rules to set the labels, and will hopefully notice when they magically start to work 🧙

@nixpanic #2603 should fix it 😉

Thanks!
