Another issue with the lockbot: I was watching specific issues and PRs because they're important to me (as a packager and a maintainer of numpy.distutils. The locking has made it very hard to now follow any updates. Even if someone opens a new issue or PR to continue where a locked one, there's no way for anyone but maintainers to comment on the original issue (which isn't likely to happen consistently) to alert me of that. And I really don't want to watch the whole repo, that's many times more noisy. Ralf On Sun, Jun 2, 2019 at 1:40 PM Paul Moore <p.f.moore@gmail.com> wrote:
One thought - is it possible in github to subscribe to "everything that isn't closed"? I couldn't see such an issue but that would (a) let me ignore the lockbot messages, and (b) let me ignore close threads so I wouldn't even need lockbot.

The bot has just been enabled, and it's catching up on historical bugs (which can't be done all in one go, as rate limits would hit us). Hopefully it should die down in a few days.
Whether there's a way to tell github not to send such notifications, or whether it's possible for us to configure the bot to lock the thread but not add a comment, I don't know. Paul

Seems like most of the pip bugmail I get now is lockbot messages telling me that a bug that hasn't received any discussion for a long time now can't have any more discussion. Is that really needed? The github UI shows the lock status of bugs itself...
