Hi David, Tom, Regarding bots, I've seen that there is some JIRA bot which moves priority down over time. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-12173 as an example.
I recently hit an issue where a new-to-Flink contributor had filed a ticket and put up a PR around six months ago and no one had looked at it. Given that it was related to / blocking something I was trying to achieve, I was able to get some help from a Flink committer to get the PR reviewed and merged. Given that we may have other situations like that, I'd encourage us to spend some time reviewing the existing "recent" PRs so that a new contributor's first message on a PR / JIRA isn't from a bot asking if their issue still exists. There are 95 PRs which have been updated since October 1st and only another 137 or so updated between May 1st and October 1. Manually triaging some amount of the open PRs would also give us a way to build up the process of handling new PRs as they are opened. Cheers, Jim 1. https://github.com/apache/flink/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+updated%3A%3E2024-10-01 2. https://github.com/apache/flink/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+updated%3A%3E2024-05-01+ or https://github.com/apache/flink/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+updated%3A2024-05-01..2024-10-01 On Wed, Nov 6, 2024 at 12:26 PM David Radley <david_rad...@uk.ibm.com> wrote: > Hi Tom, > Welcome 😊 > > Does anyone in the community know if we have considered running bots as > Tom suggests, > Kind regards, David. > >
