While trying to register a new version of my package LaurentPolynomials,
I got an unexpected message.
After the usual
`Your `new version` pull request met all of the guidelines for auto-merging and is scheduled to be merged in the next round.`
I got
```julia
Merging is blocked
The base branch restricts merging to authorized users. [Learn more about protected branches.](https://docs.github.com/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/managing-protected-branches/about-protected-branches)
You’re not [authorized](https://docs.github.com/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/managing-protected-branches/about-protected-branches) to merge this pull request.
```
What could be the reason for this?

Can you link the pull request?

For me it says
> Your `new version` pull request met all of the guidelines for auto-merging and is scheduled to be merged in the next round.

so I don’t see a problem.

I also don’t see an issue. But [github actions are having some kind of outage right now](https://www.githubstatus.com/), so maybe there are some issues. It hasn’t merged after 1 hour which is unusual.

I think Jean is talking about this here:
Which just means that you (or I) can’t merge this, because we’re not registry maintainers. The automerge bot can merge it though.

The problem is that the package is supposed to be merged after 20mn. It is now 2 hours and it is still not merged. This probably because it shows prominently in red “merging is blocked”.

The issue is that the consistency CI check never finished, likely due to the github actions outage I mentioned. I can’t merge it either (even though I have commit permissions) since the required check isn’t there.
I clicked “update branch” to retrigger CI, hopefully it goes through. But until github actions is functional again, we can’t do very much.

As @nilshg pointed out, this is totally unrelated. It is just saying you don’t have permission to click merge. Authorized users, like the registrator bot, do have permission, but there is a separate issue (github actions outage) preventing that.
