Using Horus or another bot for triggering a reminder on sentences with errors #2875

Users suggest corrections on sentences with errors, and corpus maintainers usually wait for two weeks before fixing them if there is no response. However, I've seen (and have experienced myself, too) many times that the waiting period causes things to be forgotten, and a lot of time passes (sometimes months or even years) before a CM comes across the sentence again and corrects it.

If there were a trigger to be optionally used in comments for creating a notification two weeks after the comment, it could be used for that purpose.

The trigger could be by mentioning a bot account preceded by @. There is already Horus which regularly checks for duplicate sentences and merges them. I wonder if it could be possible to assign such a task to it besides duplicate merging. I mean whether it could be used to regularly check for comments that were posted two weeks ago and have @Horus, and then to leave a reminder comment on such sentences. It doesn't need to be Horus. It's just an idea. This way, both the user who triggers the bot would get a reminder notification after two weeks, and other CMs who see the bot's reminder on the comment feed could take care of the sentence without further waiting. And if the sentence gets corrected within two weeks, the comment could be edited by removing the trigger word to avoid getting a no longer needed reminder.

Just for the record, there's a reminder bot on Reddit for similar purposes.
