Add ability to ignore certain users comments

Open thekad opened this issue 11 months ago • 2 comments

Some build/CI systems can become too noisy, you still want to pull real people's comments and ignore bot accounts when adding annotations.

Implementation looks fine but these options need to be documented and tested.

I'll add the test bits for github, there is no annotation testing done at all for gerrit but I can take a shot at it.

Question: Do you think it makes sense to leave these options on a per-service basis?

if you can't test gerrit that's ok. Github is the critical one due to it's popularity and number of features.

Yes, I think we should leave them on a per-service basis. Unfortunately, it isn't a safe assumption that usernames are owned by the same entity (or in the case of bots, running the same software) across services and I don't think we should introduce that assumption here. For example, you might want to ignore a spammer who is username-squatting on one platform without ignoring the legitimate user on another platform.
