Switch off Mergeable's reminders on stale issues and pull requests #455
Conversation
Don't let Mergeable add comments on issues and pull requests anymore which are opened for a longer time. These messages create some noise and usually don't seem to be too helpful. Signed-off-by: Cornelius Schumacher <[email protected]>

This PR says to turn off mergeable notifications for issues but it seems it also removes it for pull requests too, doesn't it?

Yes, technically pull requests are issues as well, but you are right. I'll clarify this in the summary.

I don't see the benefit of this mergeable notification as it only creates the noise. What might be interesting is an alternative of Bitcoin bot that closes the issue/PR if it was untouched for a couple of months just to clean up the backlog.

I for one do find them helpful. I‘d maybe just increase the threshold. |

I'm not opposed to it, and while I do find it useful I'd like to reference dtr-org/unit-e-project#40 I do find it important that we follow up to stale issues and pull requests. Maybe we can have something like the "state of the repo" report in bitcoin: bitcoin/bitcoin#15180 – just that it should not just track code changes but also issues, pull requests, response times, things like that. |
I agree with that. Having some reports to not lose sight on stale issues etc. is important, I think. A more passive solution like the "state of the repo" report probably is more practical because it happens so easily that you tune out of notifications if they are too frequent. I would suggest to follow up on how to address stale issues and pull requests as part of dtr-org/unit-e-project#40. |
