We integrate a GitHub app, the @badging-bot, to help us coordinate the workflow. The main function of the badging-bot is improving the efficiency of the reviewing process with some automated integration.
Some more functions of the badging-bot include:
Guiding applicants/reviewers
Assigning reviewers for a submission
Opening checklists for reviewers according to the type of event
Checking current badge status
Generating the final badge link
Closing an application issue when an application is finalized
Here is a mock submission illustrating the review process:
https://github.com/badging/event-diversity-and-inclusion/issues/46
This is what happened where the@badging-bot is triggered:
A new submission is created. Once the issue of a new submission is successfully initiated, @badging-bot will do three things:
greet the applicant and provide guiding information (see example)
assign reviewers according to reviewers.md
open a checklist for each assigned reviewer (see example)
A command is typed in a review issue comment. When someone creates an issue comment with a command, the bot will be triggered and respond in a new comment.
You can also interact with @badging-botusing a few commands.
Type this command and only this command in an issue anytime during the review when you wish to check the current badge status.
All roles are allowed to use this command.
Type this command and only this command in an issue when the review is at an end.
Only moderators are allowed to use this command.
