I have proposed the use of the Github Probot "stale" bot:
https://probot.github.io/apps/stale/
https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/pull/6495
The short version of what this bot does is:
1. After a period of inactivity, a label will be applied to mark an issue as
stale, and optionally a comment will be posted to notify contributors that the
Issue or Pull Request will be closed.
2. If the Issue or Pull Request is updated, or anyone comments, then the stale
label is removed and nothing further is done until it becomes stale again.
3. If no more activity occurs, the Issue or Pull Request will be automatically
closed with an optional comment.
Specifically, the PR I propose sets the Stalebot config as:
- After 60 days of inactivity, issues/PRs will get a warning
- After 7 more days of inactivity, issues/PRs will be closed and the "Auto
closed" label will be applied
- Issues/PRs with the "help wanted" or "good first issue" will be ignored by
the Stalebot
Thoughts?
If we move ahead with this: given that this will apply to *all* OMPI
issues/PRs, we might want to take a whack at closing a whole pile of old
issues/PRs first before unleashing the Stalebot.
