This is different from before: if the template has a {recipients} placeholder, author and reviewers of the PR/issue will receive a mention.
(this change is very specific to my use-case but I think it can be used in other contexts)

this code here is duplicating what we have in src/zulip.rs so a better way would be to refactor that module and expose functions. Maybe another time.

to generate the mention it's using the trick to write @|12345 where 12345 is the Zulip ID of the user.

…, r=Kobzol Update t-compiler beta nomination Zulip msg Sister patch of [triagebot#2191](rust-lang/triagebot#2191) Follow-up to rust-lang#147263 The triagebot now triggers a different message when a PR is nominated for backport, making it look like more a suggestion to evaluate for the author/reviewers than a mandatory decision for the team to take. The wording (as per [triagebot#2191](rust-lang/triagebot#2191)) is open to suggestions. Thanks

Beta backport nominations were confusing so we decided to turn them into suggestions for reviewers and author of a PR fixing a regression. The idea is to raise awareness on patches fixing P-high/P-critical regressions but at the same time not make it look like a mandatory decision for T-compiler to take.
After this patch, I will modify the template that creates Zulip topics for backport nominations. For example it could look like this:
(visual representation)
(
@user1, @user2, @user3) are PR author and reviewers.As per Zulip discussion.
