Contributions summary:Pablo made significant contributions to the `loki` project, focusing on enhancing the Heroku drain target. This involved adding support for Heroku HTTPS drain targets, including comprehensive testing, as evidenced by the code differences. Furthermore, the user implemented features to inject the tenant ID from the `X-Scope-OrgID` header, and added a new GCP PubSub push target to the project. The contributions extend to incorporating tracing support and optimizing the Promtail WAL writer.
