Replace the "WIP prefix" mechanism with Draft status about gitea

[wxiaoguang]

Does this work for you?

[repository.pull-request]
WORK_IN_PROGRESS_PREFIXES = WIP:,[WIP],Draft:,[Draft]

Almost, but I would like to also get rid of the PR title modification too.

Maybe we can make it work by setting WORK_IN_PROGRESS_PREFIXES to the empty string, but I suspect the detection of the status may be based on the title prefix, e.g. no separate DB field.

Hmm .... I see your point. To me, I like adding a prefix to the PR. For example, when I browse the PR list, I can't easily figure out different PRs by the icons (which is draft, which is not), I mainly depends on the title & prefix.

If it would get rid of the PR title modification .... it seems to need a lot of work ...... IIRC the current approach heavily depends on the prefix.

For me, icon alone is enough indication. Yes it would require more work because a new DB field needs to be added and a new event type for draft status. So instead of

we would see " marked the pull request as draft" and " marked the pull request as ready for review".

Reason for the change is also that it might be possible that in the future, workflows may be ran when pull request title changes (like spellcheck), and the current "abuse" of the title would cause such workflows to unnecessarily run.

It sounds more like a workflow's bug. IMO the "title modification" shouldn't trigger a workflow --- does it really make sense? 🤔

If you want to spellcheck a PR title, you have'd such a hypothetical event like on: title_change 😆.

It seems to be possible on GitHub at least: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/48695
