# The idea behind this Action is to prevent the situation where a user | |
# files a Github Issue, someone asks for clarification / more | |
# information, but the original poster never provides the information. | |
# The issue then becomes forgotten and abondoned. | |
# | |
# Instead of that scenario, Open MPI community members can assign a | |
# label to Github Issues indicating that we're waiting for the user to | |
# reply. If too much time elapses with no reply, mark the Issue as | |
# stale and emit a warning that we'll close the issue if we continue | |
# to receive no reply. If we timeout again with no reply after the | |
# warning, close the Issue and emit a comment explaining why. | |
# | |
# If the user *does* reply, the label is removed, and this bot won't | |
# touch the Issue. Specifically: this bot will never mark stale / | |
# close an Issue that doesn't have the specified label. | |
# | |
# Additionally, we are *only* marking stale / auto-closing Github | |
# Issues -- not Pull Requests. | |
# | |
# This is a cron-based Action that runs a few times a day, just so | |
# that we don't mark stale / close a bunch of issues all at once. | |
# | |
# While the actions/stale bot Action used here is capable of removing | |
# the label when a user replies to the Issue, we actually use a 2nd | |
# Action (removing-awaiting-user-info-label.yaml) to remove the label. | |
# We do this because that 2nd Action runs whenever a comment is | |
# created -- not via cron. Hence, the 2nd Action will remove the | |
# label effectively immediately when the user replies (vs. up to | |
# several hours later). | |
