Often, pull requests have to be closed as duplicates (such as if a privileged user watches or blacklists a keyword that has a pending PR by a non-privileged user, so that PR has to be procedurally rejected). Per policy, these are labeled with the "type: duplicate" label so that users searching through one's PR history can tell between PRs that are procedurally rejected for this reason and those that are actually rejected.
This code change adds the
!!/reject-duplicate
command, so that users who procedurally reject duplicate PRs don't have to go to the issue after the fact and apply the label manually: it can be done with one command.
