Add notices for when an issue was opened/closed/merged

Open IQAndreas opened this issue 10 years ago • 1 comments

Alas, issues aren't as simple as having an open flag. Instead, there is an Events list for an issue which determines all this: http://developer.github.com/v3/issues/events/

Those notices should be added as comments inside of the issue (I would also like little fancy "CLOSED", "MERGED", etc images like GitHub does now).

As far as I know, there is no way to actually close an issue from the GitHub API, so hopefully these notices should suffice.

@IQAndreas you can edit an issue by changing its state to closed: https://developer.github.com/v3/issues/#edit-an-issue. But that would mean an additional PATCH request to github. Have you considered this option already?
