Posting this since I am a bookwyrm fanboy but also also liked the thoughts on dev pace, “corp spirit”, stale bots and the SPA thing.
Oh, god, I thought I was the only one who fucking hates stale bots!!
As a maintainer, you should handle all issues, and yes, maybe classify them into “low importance” or even close issues where not enough data could be provided. But letting them dissapear under the rug??
What the fuck? That feels like you don’t give a shit. Someone made an effort to report something. Someone cared. Keep it in check! Be human!
I believe these stale bots are put by people who want to keep their issues at a low number so they look “better maintained” or something. Awful behaviour.
Same! I didn’t even notice how much I despise them until I read that.
I am trying to get into foss, and this really shines a light on what to expect.
