"Submit author response" responder + auto reminder to post said response

[maelle]

@mpadge (& others) do you think it'd make sense to have a reminder for the author response 12 days or so after both reviews are in?

It'd however require a way to detect the author response once it's been posted, as the editor might not change the label right away. So should the authors use something like @ropensci-review-bot submit response <url-to-response>? 🤔

[mpadge]

Yes! And having a submit response would solve problems that would otherwise arise by requiring authors themselves to define their response. I think something like that would be perhaps the only workable way to implement this.

Thanks @mpadge!

@xuanxu here's a new feature request. 🙏

• Having a "submit response" responder for authors. @ropensci-review-bot submit response <url to issue comment>.
• 12 days after the label "4/review(s)-in-awaiting-changes" is applied, post a reminder comment tagging all authors (author1 but also author-others if there are some)

@github-handle please post your response with `@ropensci-review-bot submit response <url to issue comment>`.

Here's the author guide for response. https://devguide.ropensci.org/authors-guide.html

@maelle A couple of questions:

• When the author uses the "submit response" command what should happen?
• Who can use the command? only the author1 or author-others too?

[maelle]

Who can use the command? only the author1 or author-others too?

Both kinds of authors.

I'll update this thread again when I have a good answer for the first question.

[maelle]

When the author uses the "submit response" command what should happen?

Adding an entry to the authors-response table.
id_no just a unique number
response_date datetime at which the response is submitted
package link to packages table record
URL of response
