Opposite of exempt-all-assignees

[kingthorin]

The problem

It would be nice if there was a way to only add stale comments on issues/PRs that are actually assigned (to remind people of their commitments).

The solution

Add an opposite flag like include-only-assigned: true (Default false).

I apologize if this is somehow already possible and I missed it.

[kingthorin]

Any thoughts or input on this?

Have I missed an alternative to accomplish the same?

This issue is stale because it has been open 30 days with no activity. Remove stale label or comment or this will be closed in 5 days

[kingthorin]

Thanks stalebot…. Well it would be nice if this was addressed….

Nope not stale, still functionality that people could use….. 😢

I don't understand but I want to participate. That's my honest comment.

No bot still not stale but also still not actioned by project maintainers

[C0ZEN]

@kingthorin because there is no maintainer in terms of new features.

[kingthorin]

🤷‍♂️Had to add some sort of update for the bot

[kingthorin]

Poke, still looking for this.

[C0ZEN]

More precisely, would you like the processing to only add stale comments without a stale label?
So that it is never closed?

[kingthorin]

Interesting question. I think that's already doable. At least I know my projects have been getting comments/labels without anything being closed. (days-before-close: -1) I assume there's a way to skip labeling, I haven't bothered to look.

Mainly I was just looking for a way to reduce spam'ish updates. For most of the projects I work with there's little point in the action/bot updating issues which aren't assigned (like this one). We would rather that it was more of a reminder to assignees that they've got something outstanding which they should be working on.

[C0ZEN]

OK, so basically, in other words, you wish to process only issues when there is an assignee?

[kingthorin]

Exactly.

[C0ZEN]

Willing to do that but on this repo Sonia-corporation/stale#559
I no longer add new features here

[kingthorin]

@C0ZEN thanks for that. We'll have to decide which way to go. I'll discuss with the team. (My hesitation is around fragmentation and upkeep.)

No stale bot it STILL isn’t stale, well at least not more than this entire repo.

/le sigh

NO bot still not stale, simply not actioned.
