to gather what I can and make a post about it sometime within

Recently [1] I deployed the first iteration of a daily cronjob
for the Dlang-Bot that does auto-labeling of (a) "stalled" (=no
activity in 60 days), (b) "needs rebase" (=merge conflicts) and
(c) "needs work" (=two or more failing CIs).
It's far from perfect, but the idea is to have a better detection
for stalled issues (see e.g. [2]) and then add better automation
to them. For example, pinging reviewers automatically if an issue
gets stalled and maybe even automatically fixing some (e.g.
trivial merge conflicts).
