I'd like to populate my releases with real information: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/releases , but if I use the API now to create releases with release notes, they will all be dated today. Is there a way to make a release with a date in the past?
+ [2020-05-18T09:05:40Z] TheDcoder Hi, I would like to send a pull request to a repository, from a repository that I own but is not a fork of the said repository
+ [2020-05-18T09:05:44Z] TheDcoder Is this possible?
+ [2020-05-18T09:39:01Z] jhass I don't think so
+ [2020-05-18T09:39:27Z] jhass but you could just fork the other repo and add the fork as a remote to your local clone, then just push the branch to the fork and open the request from there
+ [2020-05-18T09:39:40Z] jhass given they share commit histories of course
