Script to fetch patches for stable release branches

Uses the github python3 module

$ pip3 install --user pygithub

Copy the config over

$ cp config-example.cfg config.cfg

Generate a personal access token by going to https://github.com/settings/tokens/new, then add it to the config file

api-token = replace_this_with_your_token

Then run the script:

$ ./milestone-patches.py 44

Where '44' is the milestone number, f.ex. https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/milestone/44

Downloads each patch into ./patches, prefixed with a timestamp that should be followed when applying the patches.

To aid in the developer workflow, when you've applied patches, move them to ./patches/done and they will be skipped when you run the script a second time.
