Shareable configuration

[DanySK]

Expected Behavior

Mergify should be able to be pointed to a configuration hosted somewhere else, using it as a base, similar to what, for instance Renovate does.

This is particularly handy when someone has many repositories needing the same (base) configuration.

Actual Behavior

As far as I know, the same configuration should get copied and pasted into every repository.

Proposal

These are some ideas of what it could look like, but better ways might be concocted.

# Imports the content of the URI, using it as a base
from: '<some URI>'

Alternatively:

# Includes rules from somewhere else, possibly with multiple sources.

import_pull_request_rules:
   -  '<some URI>'
   -  '<some other URI>'

import_queue_rules:
   -  '<some URI>'
   -  '<some other URI>'

Hi @DanySK

This is an excellent idea and is already on our roadmap. :)

Thanks! 🙏

Is the roadmap public? 👀
I'd like to follow the progress!
