Regarding this item above: "Assigning the newly created issue to the Product Management board. It doesn't seem like you can assign issues to projects using github's api." The github api does provide a way of linking issues to project cards. See the "New Organization: ..." cards here for the result of the api call https://github.com/civictechindex/CTI-website-frontend/projects/1
It's not very clear in the documentation, but the way to do it is to create a card in the project board and passing the issue id and "issue" into the call.
I suggest automatically creating project cards in the Triage/New Issue Approval column when new issues are created. That would make this issue's automation obsolete once all the orphaned issues are taken care of.
There are GH actions out there to do this or someone at hackforla can create one.
Overview
As github admins and portfolio owners, we need to be able to let project teams know when they have issues that are not showing up on any of their project boards. This process should be as automated as possible.
Current State
@ExperimentsInHonesty (Bonnie) and @joelparkerhenderson (Joel) worked on a script to review all the open issues that are not attached to any project board. (see resource 3 below)
Bonnie ended up using the data to manually create an issue in each repository, here is the example of what was created for Shared housing: https://github.com/hackforla/shared-housing/issues/289. Note: I could have put the urls to the specific issues, but I thought it was sufficient to provide the url to see all of the issues related to the task.
Future Development
If we could automate this so that it:
Action Items/Research
The above development requires the following to be addressed or answered:
Stakeholders
Hack for LA and other brigades. (stakeholder rep: the #ops team- please include Bonnie)
Anticipated outcomes
Less issues going unaddressed, leads better project outcomes and more reliable time lines Directly reduces repetitive work by the GitHub org administrator, minimum of 15 min per project in a github org.
