Automate identifying, labeling, and closing stale issues #26223

Closed

Description

Outlining some of our ideas:

  • Inbox:
    • Identify area (was: bugs / feature requests / ...)
    • Label issues filed for an insiders build as insiders.
    • Label issues filed for a recently released stable build as new release.
    • Search for duplicate issues.
    • On bugs: Ask author to add VSCode and OS versions when not provided, also label as needs more info.
    • Check description is not empty, label as needs more info.
  • Maintenance:
    • Close needs more info issues when the last comment is from our team when stale for 7 days.
    • Close feature requests stale for 30 days with either no assignee or no milestone and with less than 20 up-votes
      • Here 'stale' should include no addition of votes, so the voting has largely finished.
      • We need to check the existing issues to assess if 30 days and 20 up-votes are good values.
    • Close bugs stale for 60 days with either no milestone or on the backlog

    Christof Marti (@chrmarti) Daniel Imms (@Tyriar) I found this hackathon project very relevant to our problem, maybe we can use similar techniques: https://techcrunch.com/2017/05/14/building-a-smarter-hacker-news/

    Moving to June, I think we did not tackle automated labeling and assigning.

    new release label and area classifier were implemented for the June milestone.

    Small improvements for July (stemming in the text classifier).

    Closing, we'll open specific issues for future improvements.
