Allow contributors to self-assign issues with GitHub workflow #185

Closed sugatoray closed 1 year ago

sugatoray commented 1 year ago

Commenting #self-assign in any issue will let repository members to self-assign that issue to themselves.

:point_right: This reduces chores for repo-maintainer(s).

I have already sent a PR for adding this functionality. Please assign this to me.

🔔 If/once the PR is merged, then in future, issue assignment can be done by contributors themselves with #self-assign comment alone.

👉 Like this: #self-assign

NOTE:

I have also raised another issue #184 to add wn to conda-forge channel and enable conda driven installation. I was not able to self-assign then. I have earlier added this workflow to other repositories as well. Please see the following PR:

My first thought is that Wn doesn't yet have an active enough contributor pool for this solution to address a real problem. But my second thought is that it doesn't seem like a big change or commitment, so why not? I also don't particularly like macro-triggering comments cluttering issue threads, but that's minor.

Regarding the implementation though, firing up a docker container just to send a curl command to set the assignees seems heavy. Why not use a Javascript action with github-script? It would be faster, at least.

@sugatoray thanks for raising the issue and making the PR, but I don't think this is needed at this moment. The project doesn't yet have enough activity that it solves any real need. And I don't mind assigning issues when people request them. The manual step also provides the chance to have some conversation about the issue first.
