Create autoresponder for pausing community contributions #216

Closed kytrinyx closed 1 year ago

kytrinyx commented 1 year ago

We're going to take a step back and redesign the volunteering model for Exercism. Please see this forum post for context.

This PR adds an autoresponder that runs when an issue or PR is opened. If the person opening the issue is not a member of the Exercism organization, the autoresponder posts a comment and closes the issue. In the comment the author is directed to discuss the issue in the forum.

If the discussion in the forum results in the issue/PR being approved, a maintainer or staff member will reopen it.

Please feel free to merge this PR. It will be merged on December 1st, 2022. Please do not close it.

If you wish to discuss this, please do so in the forum post rather than here.

@ErikSchierboom @kytrinyx I wrote an email to jonathan@exercism to opt out from the autoresponder as suggested by the blog post.

Reason: During the last six month this track had only very few community contributions. I think the autoresponder is a very good idea in general and I keep it in mind. Maybe there is some need in the future. But for the moment the SML track does not need it.

Thanks @rainij -- I'm going to be going through all of these carefully tomorrow, tagging repositories and closing the ones that need to be closed before I merge the remainder.

I'm closing this as discussed. Thanks!
