Hi, just wanted to check in how people think the stalebot for issues has been working out (positive, negative, don't know yet)? It's been running for about a month. On Mon, Jul 15, 2019 at 2:33 PM Gian Merlino wrote: > I wrote a comment on the issue, about considering a differen

I've proposed to add more exempt labels and set the closing timeout to 28 days here: https://github.com/apache/incubator-druid/pull/8084. On Sat, 6 Jul 2019 at 01:35, Gian Merlino wrote: > You raise a good point but I don't think leaving issues open with no > response forever is a good solution

You raise a good point but I don't think leaving issues open with no response forever is a good solution either. That's probably what would have happened to your issues if we didn't have a stalebot. The ideal thing is to strive to respond to every reported issue, which hopefully we can pull togethe

i agree with you, but do consider the following case: I am new to druid. I report the above 2 bugs. They don’t get a response. Then a bot closes them automatically. As a new user, I may then not be motivated to report further bugs. On Thu, Jul 4, 2019 at 9:13 PM Gian Merlino wrote: > I think

I think that would be a perfect reason to comment on those issues and mention that they are still relevant. The stalebot message even invites you to do so. IMO, one of the services provided by the stalebot is to remind people to take a look at older issues and check if they are still relevant, othe

stalebot just closed my issues 7473 and 7521. Both bugs are still present. they were closed because the bug reports themselves didn’t receive a reply. Not receiving a reply did not make the bugs go away. Yet due to stalebot, the bugs are now closed. On Wed, Jun 26, 2019 at 10:28 AM Roman Levent

I claim that features have a different lifecycle to bugs. There may not be a strong case for doing a particular feature today, but in a year, there may be a greater demand. If a bugs are not fixed, their importance usually declines over time. Are people able to vote for features in GitHub issue

To me it makes sense to close even "Feature" ideas that have no constituency, since it is just clutter to have a bunch of feature ideas around that nobody is actively pushing.

The core idea is that it's good for someone or something to go through old issues periodically and clean up anything that's no longer relevant, since having a bunch of irrelevant issues lying around is poor project hygiene. No human is really volunteering for this, hence the bot. The fact that it b

By the way, I do think it makes sense to have a stalebot for issues. Right now we have over 1000 open issues and I doubt anyone is actively reviewing them. IMO it would be better to keep the list shorter, to things where the original filer is still actively interested in keeping them alive. But I
