Is support for cross-fork stacked PRs coming in the near future? I was surprised that didn't come before the feature entered public preview, as it seems rather important for the feature to be useful on public repositories.
Yes it will be coming! The reason it's taking a bit longer is because of the automated rebase that happens after you merge part of a stack. There are some legitimate security concerns because of this so multi-fork stacks (a stack which includes multiple different forks) are probably out of the question for now.
We will support a stack that is fully contained within a single fork, where the entire stack targets the original repo.
For example, a contributor who has a fork (user/buzz) of the original repo (org/buzz) could create the following stack:
``` frontend → PR #3 (base: user/buzz:api-endpoints) api-endpoints → PR #2 (base: user/buzz:auth-layer) auth-layer → PR #1 (base: org/buzz:main) org/buzz:main (trunk) ```
