The bot will verify the following conditions, refusing to merge otherwise:

- the PR author should be @r-ryantm or a Nixpkgs committer;
- the invoker should be among the package maintainers;
- the invoker should be among the package maintainers on the targeted branch;
- the package should reside in `pkgs/by-name`.

Further, nixpkgs-merge-bot will ensure all CI checks and the ofborg builds for Linux have successfully completed before merging the pull request.
Should the checks still be underway, the bot will wait for them to finish before attempting the merge again.
Required status checks prevent PRs that fail them ("PR / ..." jobs) from being merged. Ofborg is not required by the checks.
