Hi @pkenchap. Thanks for your PR.

PRs from untrusted users cannot be marked as trusted with /ok-to-test in this repo meaning untrusted PR authors can never trigger tests themselves. Collaborators can still trigger tests on the PR using /test all.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Details

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes-sigs/prow repository.

The OWNERS file contains untrusted users, which makes it INVALID. The following users are mentioned in OWNERS file(s) but are untrusted for the following reasons. One way to make the user trusted is to add them as members of the kubevirt org. You can then trigger verification by writing /verify-owners in a comment.

  • pkenchap
    • User is not a member of the org. User is not a collaborator. Satisfy at least one of these conditions to make the user trusted.
    • wg-arch-ppc64le/OWNERS
