Github minute bot

Hi Chair and Process CG,

David Baron has written a very useful little IRC bot, that's been in use in a number of WGs, and that I have just configured to be usable in the Process CG as well.

It posts minutes from IRC directly into the relevant github issue, highlighting any resolution taken within these minutes. It does so based on existing minuting conventions plus one new command. As a side effect, if we make the bot a member of the group so that it has the necessary access rights, if the issue it posts minutes to has an Agenda+ label, it will remove it, since the existence of minutes proves that the topic has been discussed.

I suggest we adopt it.

== Minuting, before ==

scribe: Topic: Foo
scribe: someone: I suggest we should fizbuz the blah
scribe: sometwo: That sounds great
scribe: Resolved: Accept suggestion to fizbuz the blah

scribe: Topic: Bar
scribe: Somethree: I don't think we have quorum today to discuss this
scribe: Chair: sure, let's postpone to next call

== Minuting, after ==

scribe: Topic: Foo
scribe: github: https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/1234
* github-bot OK, I'll post this discussion to https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/1234

scribe: someone: I suggest we should fizbuz the blah

scribe: Somethree: I don't think we have quorum today to discuss this
scribe: Chair: sure, let's postpone to next call then
scribe: github: none
* github-bot- OK, I won't post this discussion to GitHub.
