----------------------------------
Summary: Consider auto closing outdated pull requests
Key: KAFKA-3630
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3630
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Grant Henke
Currently we don't have access to close pull requests and the list of open pull
requests is growing. We are nearing 200 open pull requests and many are
outdated.
I am not sure if this is possible but I think a potential improvement would be
to have a Jenkins job that runs periodically to:
1. Find all pull requests that have had no activity for 15 days
2. Comment on the pull requests that they were auto closed and should be
re-opened if there is still interest
3. Close the pull requests
I don't think closing the outdated pull request will hurt project progress in
anyway because:
- Jira still tracks the feature or fix
- The pull requests likely need a rebase or feedback needs to be address
- The notification will encourage the pull request owner and reviewers to
follow up
As of today the break down of older pull requests is:
- [Older than 15
days|https://github.com/apache/kafka/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+updated%3A%3C%3D2016-04-12+]:

- [Older than 30
