Handling reservations

To avoid having two translators work on the same file at the same time, one can tell other translations that a file is being translated using an issue or a draft pull request.

potodo can fetch those issues and display it. It currently work with Gitea and Github.

For example, in a clone of python-docs-fr you can run:

$ potodo --api-url 'https://git.afpy.org/api/v1/repos/AFPy/python-docs-fr/issues?state=open&type=issues' --exclude .venv
[...]
# extending (56.81% done)

- building.po                     22 /  23 ( 95.0% translated), 1 fuzzy, reserved by Starmania.
- extending.po                   120 / 158 ( 75.0% translated), 8 fuzzy.
- index.po                        11 /  12 ( 91.0% translated), 1 fuzzy.
- newtypes.po                     38 /  89 ( 42.0% translated), 3 fuzzy.
- newtypes_tutorial.po            31 / 123 ( 25.0% translated), 2 fuzzy.
- windows.po                      20 /  21 ( 95.0% translated), 1 fuzzy.


# faq (90.88% done)

- extending.po                    55 /  58 ( 94.0% translated), 3 fuzzy.
- general.po                      88 /  98 ( 89.0% translated).
- gui.po                          16 /  17 ( 94.0% translated), 1 fuzzy, reserved by Iucounu.
- library.po                     139 / 140 ( 99.0% translated).
- programming.po                 340 / 389 ( 87.0% translated), 40 fuzzy.
[...]

Notice the reserved by column.

For github it would look like --api-url 'https://api.github.com/repos/ORGANISATION/REPOSITORY/issues?state=open'.

It's a bit verbose, so maybe hide this in a Makefile or whatever, but this way you can tweak the parameters of the query, typically to filter on a label if needed.

The way potodo maps issues to files is simple: the path of the file just has to be present in the issue title, so any issues like:

• I'm currently working on faq/extending.po
• Je travaille sur extending/index.po
• blah blah library/functions.po blah blah

will correctly match their file.
