Add some note to stalled PRs or at least a summary

[iamamoose]

We could have the tool comment on, or just do an interesting weekly summary of PRs:

"No comments or pushes in n weeks"

Being careful to avoid any comments the tool makes when counting comments.

[mattcaswell]

I note that at the moment we have 264 open PRs. Many of those probably come under the classification of "stalled". It wouldn't be helpful to see 200+ emails in my inbox notifying me of those stalled PRs. Could we limit it somehow to those PRs that were recently active, but now don't seem to be?

Having stats would be very useful. For example:

X PRs opened in the last week X PRs closed in the last week X open PRs are 1 month old or less X open PRs are 1-2 months old X open PRs are 2-4 months old X open PRs are 4-6 months old X open PRs are older than 6 months

This sort of thing we could track over time and set some goals around.

I suggest a weekly mail that summarizes things perhaps via a table by PR.

[paulidale]

@mattcaswell's suggestion with a list of clickable PRs after the summary (ideally sorted into the same categories).

Weekly is probably about the right frequency. Such reminders need to be sufficiently non-annoying that they get looked at.

sufficiently non-annoying

Interesting formulation.

[richsalz]

Post it to openssl-users, not the project or commits. Make it public. You want more metrics, you can do that with a less-public list. Look at "pull panda" for example.

It would be also interesting to see for the "stalled" PRs on which side the action is - whether the reporter or the team. We would probably need a new label for that.

I'm running this daily and tweaking it and it'll eventually get auto emailed out probably weekly. Example from last night ("stalled issues" where "stalled" means no update in 30 days)

[levitte]

Has this been resolved in a satisfactory manner?

[nhorman]

given there was no response to @levitte comment 2 years ago, i'm assuming this is complete. Marking as inactive to be closed in the near future. Please comment if there is more to do here
