From 2118173ca4ac0276c261f4c04eb10a2cbafb7ba8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ryan Mulligan Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2022 08:30:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] .github/stale bot: stop commenting MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Niklas Hambüchen noted in https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/124#issuecomment-1113647856 that we can add a label description for the stale label that appears when you hover over the label, or look on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/labels I set the description to be > https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/.github/STALE-BOT.md which is our page explaining the stale bot. The stale bot comments/emails are a significant burden on our most prodigious contributors, and the reason for their existence to orient new contributors. Since our stale bot's configuration is benign enough to ignore (it does not close), I believe it is good enough to satisfy the new contributor orientation with the label description. Therefore, this commit disables commenting when labeling an issue or PR stale. --- .github/STALE-BOT.md | 1 + .github/stale.yml | 3 +-- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/STALE-BOT.md b/.github/STALE-BOT.md index 0c5a21cc3524..dff787300d40 100644 --- a/.github/STALE-BOT.md +++ b/.github/STALE-BOT.md @@ -1,6 +1,7 @@ # Stale bot information - Thanks for your contribution! +- Our stale bot will never close an issue or PR. - To remove the stale label, just leave a new comment. - _How to find the right people to ping?_ → [`git blame`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-blame) to the rescue!
