Need a bot for automatically adding labels to issues and merge requests (mr-label-maker)
Todo
It's quite important that contributors get immediate feedback on trivial issues such as:
-
Commit message formatting in a merge request -> gstreamer!3980 (merged) -
Filing a merge request without ticking the "allow maintainer edits" checkbox -
Someone attaching a patch to an issue instead of filing a merge request(not really super important imho, tpm) -
Check that the CI timeout in the fork is correct (is this still needed with latest GitLab?)Fixed by !187 (merged) -
Automatically adding labels based on files touched ( Build
,macOS/iOS
,Windows
,Android
,1.16
,1.14
, etc) -> https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freedesktop/mr-label-maker/
And any other issues that can be easily and reliably detected. It reduces back-and-forth, reduces contribution friction and frustration, and generally speeds up merging of patches.
