issue-overseer

Bot adding labels to GitHub issues which allows easy finding of issues with a missing answer.

Hire us

Let's assume my-acme-org is your GitHub organization name.

For each open issue (among the comments, it excludes the ones made by issuehunt-bot), it:

• puts "answering: reported by my-acme-org" label if the issue is created by any member of the my-acme-org organization with no comments by external contributors;
• otherwise, puts "answering: answered" label if the last comment is by a member of the organization;
• otherwise, puts "answering: not answered"
• removes the remaining answering labels because they are exclusive
