<p>Hello,</p>
I have a question about the automatic closure of PRs. Tim Sutton
answered me aleady on this topic a while ago, saying that I <br>
<b>"will be relying on the good will of a developer who may or may
not have time to review your PR when I cannot pay a reviewer to
review my PR's"</b>, <br>
and that <br>
<b>"I may need to be gently persistent and patient, along with a
little social engineering to get my PR reviewed and merged."</b><br>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I understand that, but I wonder what the arguments are for having
a bot close PRs automatically at all on an open source project
where reviewer's time is a scarce ressource?</p>
Is this to incentivize people to make "perfect PRs"? <br>
I would like to argue that it would be better to only close a PR
manually, because something about it's content is not good. With
automatic closing, I will have to ask for reopening, creating
unnecessary work for<br>
the person doing it and cluttering the email list. I do not
understand why there needs to be this time pressure to review. Why
does it necessarily need to happen within a short period of time?
<p>Could I open an issue about this?<br>
