Exclude bot contributions #59

Closed minrk closed 1 year ago

minrk commented 2 years ago

Description / Summary

I think it would be nice to be able to exclude bot contributions, such as pre-commit, dependabot, support, welcome, etc. Both from a contributor list and from the prs to include, possibly configured separately.

Value / benefit

Limits noise in the contribution list to arguably 'actual' contributions. A section for dependency bumps automatically populated by pr author (well-known ones like pre-commit-bot, dependabot) in addition to current patterns of title/tag.

Implementation details

Take an input list of usernames and/or look up metadata on the user accounts (I don't know if bots identify themselves?) and exclude those users from contributions in the report. Again, either from the contributor list or pr list or both.

Tasks to complete

On another note I was just wondering if this tool could also accept the Dependency label that depend-a-bot applies (currently PRs are turning red with the label-enforcer: https://github.com/jupyterlab/maintainer-tools/issues/60)
