github issues "claimed" bot

[alexbayleaf]

If I recall correctly, there's a bot that assigns github issues to people if they say "claimed" or similar in the issue comments.

Can someone point me to the code/setup/whatever for that bot?

It's closely tied into the DW code, not a standalone, but the code is here:

Note: for it to work, you'll need to have that person be part of a team on your Github repo. What this adds is the ability for someone who is a contributor *but doesn't have commit access* to assign themselves.

Hmm, thanks! Looks like if we wanted something similar we'd have to write our own.

Yeah probably! It was meant to be a one-off script, but then it grew... so one of those.

Still, feel free to grab whatever is useful, if any.

Yup! But as a reference implementation it's good.

(also if there's no need for the labelling stuff it's pretty straightforward)

Noting for posterity here that we did recently split this off into its own project for others to use: https://github.com/afuna/ghi-assist
