The purpose of this script (written in Node.js) is to be a "Post-Receive URL" that reopens Git Hub issues that were closed by the commit messsage. Git Hub automatically closes issues that were refenced in a commit message like this
git commit -m"Fixes #123, typo in url..."
This script would then re-open issue #123, and apply a label to that issue, like "Testable" or "Verify" (you choose). It can also handle multiple issues being fixed in a single commit like this.
git commit -m"Fixes #123, fixes #234, and closes #46 because of typo in url..."
