In a recent post, I described the problem. Maybe, 3 measures may contribute to an improvement
(1) Notification
Currently, I get no notification about a new issue, new MR, or anything else going on with our repos. I’m wondering, how many of us experience the same. I know, I can configure it. But wouldn’t it be better to establish a systematic solution? Every member of docs-admin and docs-team group should automatically get a notification about issues and MRs – for the GitLab repos as well as pagure (Quick Doc).
(2) Reporting
Is it possible to automatically generate a monthly or bi-weekly report about the current number of open issues & MRs/PRs., new items and closed items in the report period. And again, it should automatically mailed to each member of docs-admin and docs-team.
(3) Escalation
The oldest issue and MR/PR should become a standing agenda item of our meetings.
About the notification, i use ‘Watch’ notification in Pagure that delivers to my email. You can tailor the level of notification and switch it off as needed.
In GItlab, I use bell button on repo. Please check Custom notification events that appear a plethora of options. Scroll down to custom and select one or multiple notification events.
I don’t know how to activate this for group. Admin user may know more.
This is how I did for the user settings.
Go to user settings and make sure you added an email address
In preferences menu, click ‘Activate cc me to my actions’
To check entire list of interactions, I use activity dashboard for the watch list I selected.
Once you log into Pagure, add /dashboard/activity in the end of URL and refresh to view activity dashboard.
I had watch set to “Watch Issues, PRs, and Commits” and my settings include my e-mail address. But it didn’t work. I added now the Activate cc option, let’s see, what happens now.
