Feature Description

I think it would be great if Gitea can have a per-repository setting that can automatically reject commits that don't include certain trailers (and even check the number of those trailers). Specifically, I would like to reject commits that don't have enough count of the Reviewed-by lines or the trailers with patterns configurable by the repo owner. It's particularly helpful in a patch-based workflow.

This can be done by git server hooks, but it has been disabled by default due to security concerns.
So, it probably makes sense to have a web UI for such functionality. I have no idea if any other Git hosting software has implemented it though.

You can re-enable the git hook interface on the webpage by changing the server configuration and restarting the server. Then you will see the Git Hooks tab after navigating to a specific repository's settings.
