A new feature has been introduced that enables users to set up an auto-response for any pull requests they receive, offering several practical applications. For instance, users who rely on external services for managing tickets and patches can configure an auto-responder to provide requesters with necessary information and links. Additionally, it serves as a useful tool for notifying requesters about a user's unavailability during vacations, assuring them that their requests will be addressed upon return. Furthermore, it can redirect pull requests to the appropriate repository maintainer when a user no longer wishes to maintain a particular fork. The feature is accessible through the repository's edit page, as explained by PJ Hyett.
