To streamline automated updates, leverage the nixpkgs-merge-bot by simply commenting `@NixOS/nixpkgs-merge-bot merge`. The bot will verify if the following conditions are met, refusing to merge otherwise:
- the commenter that issued the command should be among the package maintainers;
- the package should reside in `pkgs/by-name`.
Further, nixpkgs-merge-bot will ensure all ofBorg checks (except the Darwin-related ones) are successfully completed before merging the pull request. Should the checks still be underway, the bot patiently waits for ofBorg to finish before attempting the merge again.
For other pull requests, the *Nixpkgs committers* are people who have been given
permission to merge.
It is possible for community members that have enough knowledge and experience on a special topic to contribute by merging pull requests.
