I forgot to include a compat entry for a couple of packages when firing of request for that commit to be registered. Then the automatic merging into the registry fails (" Your `new version` pull request does not meet the following guidelines for auto-merging"). My question is: how does one fix it cleanly and quickly? Is this done through an amendment to a commit? Are there some instructions somewhere?

Make a new commit fixing the problem, and comment `@JuliaRegistrator register` on the new commit. JuliaRegistrator is smart enough that it will amend the existing PR to the registry.
