Is this getting the whole repo each time? I wonder if there are some "shallow checkout" options that would apply here.

Or we could get it from the PR event, maybe, but I guess you already looked for that and I don't want to derail the chosen solution.

There is user.email in https://docs.github.com/en/webhooks/webhook-events-and-payloads#pull_request. Would need testing to confirm, but I'd guess that checking for null or noreply@github... in the string would work.

And possibly this could all be done in the YAML. Which is not necessarily a good thing so you don't have to change what you've got.

Just know that this is (allegedly) an option.

Emails could come from different places, but we mostly bother about email of author in the commit (which has to set up manually from via git config if one uses git CLI and private email address, so must be done explicitly) and I thought this is the most bullet-proof way to do this.
