Re: [python-committers] Issues with hundreds of commits being opened and closed -- what's going on?

I've also created https://github.com/python/bedevere/issues/69 so that the review requests from such PRs can be dismissed automatically.

This is a great improvement over the PR being left open until someone manually closes it.

Not sure if there's anything else we can do.

We need GH to provide a hook so that our bot could vet a proposed PR *before* it is created and the review notices sent out (by GH).

Will it help when bedevere close the PR, it can leave a comment say that "This PR is invalid. Ignore it" ?

If that could be added to the same email, instead of sending yet another one, yes.

Would it be possible for Bedevere to run and possibly close *before* the Knight runs, so we get one less email?
