[Feature] Switch from Pull Requests to Issues for BSoC'25 Submissions #145
Description
What’s the feature?
Migrating BSoC'25 submission system from using github pull requests to github issues.
Describe the solution
- switch from github pr api to issues api
- maintain compatibility with existing label system
- ensure issue objects have the same required fields as prs (Title, html_url, assignees, labels)
- change terminology from pull requests to issues in the interface
Why do you need this?
- issues are more straightforward for submission tracking
- maintainers wont have to label both the issues and the pr
- on issue could have multiple prs by one person to close it causing incosistency for submissions
- better handling of large volumes of submission
- right now prs submitted by maintainers are also shown in the submit pr menu
Would this impact many users?
Yes
