Tool to notify on date-based TODO #111

Open cretz opened 2 years ago

cretz commented 2 years ago

Support code comments like // TODO(date=2022-10-15): Remove this after our deprecation period
- Basically something like this capture: TODO\([^\)]*date=([\d\-]+)[^\)]*\)
Notification bot can do whatever it wants (slack, GH, etc)
Some orgs may require something like require a date on every TODO in a pre-merge lint check in order to force revisiting

I love how in Rust, you can run tests for example code in your comments. It would be awesome to see if something like co-pilot could 'watch over' comments / examples as related code changes and enforce that examples are addressed and fixed if dependent code is modified.
