| # 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). | |
