If I `$ git commit -am "@JuliaRegistrator register()"` for one of my packages (namely [COBS.jl](https://github.com/yakir12/COBS.jl)), how do I know if my registration attempt succeeded? I understand that I’ll get an issue if things didn’t work, but is there supposed to be some immediate feedback if things do work?

PS  
I expect my attempt to actually fail because the name is shorter than 5 letters. Nevertheless, no issues were posted by `Registrator.jl`, so obviously I’m doing something wrong…

Registrator does not react to commit messages.

So I need to issue an issue with some random title but with `@JuliaRegistrator register()` in the message?

Thats one option. Most people comment on the commit though, e.g. like this: [https://github.com/JuliaWeb/GitHub.jl/commit/3b28dfded544f676b012246dc4f4cccfb8af2e44#commitcomment-35726772](https://github.com/JuliaWeb/GitHub.jl/commit/3b28dfded544f676b012246dc4f4cccfb8af2e44#commitcomment-35726772)

I like that I have a new issue titled: new revision. Optimally you can agree with your coauthors before initiating registrator and can have todo lists etc.
