-Make sure to link to the issue or pull request in your commit message. This causes
-a link to the github-drama commit to appear in the dramatic interaction, if it
-hasn't been locked yet.

-## What qualifies as drama? ##
-There's no agreement on what's considered dramatic enough to be included
-in github-drama. Everyone has a different sense of humor. There are plenty
-of "non-serious" github threads, where the usual github politeness gave
-way to reaction gifs and one-word replies, turning into something like a
-4chan thread but less funny.
-
-This repository follows the guideline that if anyone in the thread appears to
-be getting worked up about something, it can be considered for inclusion here.
-If a repository's maintainer has locked conversation on a thread, that's also
-a good indicator that it could be included here.
