Problem/Motivation

The Project Update Bot https://www.drupal.org/about/core/blog/the-project-update-bot-is-being-r... →

To make project update bot more maintainable and sustainable we need to move away for the single point of failure it currently is. It lives in a private repository on github and is run by @tedbow. This is not sustainable.

At DrupalCon Pittsbugh we talked about this issue with @gabor-hojsky, @drumm, @tedbow and @bbrala. After some discussion we decided to move the code to project analysis.

There are multiple reasons why this is a good idea and is no issue.

  • The code contains no secrets.
  • It does contain a way to post issues, but this is no rocket science code wise.
  • By getting the bot into this repository it will be easier to maintain.
  • By moving the bot here we open up running the bot on GitLab.
  • We want to spread the responsbility, for now we will allow @gabor-hojsky, @bbrala and @tedbow to run the bot. Validated with @drumm.

Some important prerequisites of eveything after this

  • Security is a top priority.
  • We need to keep an eye on every step of the posting process to amke sure we do not poast invalid patched or comments
  • We need to expand logging and add things like dry runs to be able to test
  • By default it should NEVER run against production but against a dev instance.

Proposed resolution

  1. Move the code to project_analysis
  2. Expand comments on the code to explain how to works better
