Greet first-time contributors in Novu repository

[MrKrishnaAgarwal]

Signed-off-by: Krishna Agarwal [email protected]

• What kind of change does this PR introduce? (Bug fix, feature, docs update, ...) Feature: The Welcome Bot Greets first-time contributors.

• Other information:

This will greet the first-time contributors with a welcome message:

• When they open their first PR
• When they open their first issue

This will not greet the contributors who have already contributed to the project. This will also not greet the contributors who have already been greeted by the bot.

This will help in reducing the notification chaos and will help in welcoming the first-time contributors.

@ainouzgali How's the idea?

[ainouzgali]

I remember it was discussed previously and we decided against it here. Is the difference now that it is only for first-time contributors?

[MrKrishnaAgarwal]

Please see now, I think it's fine :)

Yes! But it's not a github action

[ainouzgali]

Ok. I would still like @scopsy's input here. But I'll add the hacktoberfest-accepted label, so it will still count for you in case he can't today.

Okay, Thanks

FunFact: I already qualified for DigitalOcean Hacktoberfest a long ago... i.e. On 7th Oct 🙂

@ainouzgali any updates please?

[scopsy]

I tend to aggree with @ainouzgali that it's hard to see any particular value with current behaviour. Another concern I have is the robot implementation welcome seems like a very small repo with not a lot of traction, and it requires a read and write permissions for PR's. From security standpoint I would skip the usage of this action, perhaps in the future we might look at other automation for such task.

Thank you @MrKrishnaAgarwal for your contribution nonetheless 🙏
