GitHub's native stacked pull requests land in public preview

GitHub is rolling out native stacked pull requests in public preview: one big change split into a chain of dependent, layer-sized PRs, with a stack map on each one and a merge that lands every layer beneath the latest ready PR in a single operation. Branch protections and required status checks still apply, merge queue support is coming in over the following weeks, and there is a new gh-stack CLI.

Lightrun brings production impact into the PR review, and the merge gate gets more interesting

Lightrun added a capability that assesses a pull request's likely production impact before merge, joining a small category of tools that pull runtime context into code review.

Kubernetes will let you write patches with AI. It will not let you hide it.

The Kubernetes project published an AI contribution policy on June 26, 2026 that bans AI co-author trailers, requires PR descriptions to disclose generative-AI assistance, and tells maintainers to close PRs whose authors cannot explain the code in person. For any project taking community patches, it is a usable template.
