Bot to close/re-open "triaged" language server bugs #9415

Open michelleangela opened 2 years ago

michelleangela commented 2 years ago

Purpose: Close "triaged" language server bugs that are marked as low priority.

How:

Have bot go through "triaged" bugs and close the ones that are 1 or more years old and with less than 10 up-votes and are tagged as "Low Priority".
Message for closing: "This issue has been closed as lower priority. This issue can either be re-opened if the number of up-votes increases or is re-opened by the severity of the issue."
Tag for closing: "Closed - Lower Priority"
Have bot go through "Closed - Lower Priority" issues to re-open issues if up-votes changes to 10+.

Note that there is already an action to close old issues in the Triage milestone that have the "Feature Request" or "enhancement" tab. Is this new action specifically for issues labeled with "bug", or some other tags?

Colengms commented 2 years ago

Currently, we label all issues (both bugs and feature requests) that would need to be addressed in VS, as "Visual Studio", and put them in the Tracking milestone. We might consider instead putting the VS feature requests into the Triage milestone, and have the bot automatically promote them to Tracking (instead of Backlog) when they receive enough votes, or eventually close them like other feature requests in Triage. That would avoid us having to keep issues open for lots of VS feature requests that are unlikely to be implemented and make it easier for us to identify the (open) VS feature request we should advocate for.
