I completely misjudged how long the bot would take to catch up to the ridiculous amount of closed old issues on the tracker, due to rate limits. If it's any comfort, I had to face the same spam. 🙂 If there are any concerns other than email spam, please comment on https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6563 and not here.

[Distutils] Re: Why lockbot?
In the lock.yml you can specify to not leave a comment upon locking. See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/blob/master/.github/lock.yml as an example.

[Distutils] Re: Why lockbot?
Another issue with the lockbot: I was watching specific issues and PRs because they're important to me (as a packager and a maintainer of numpy.distutils. The locking has made it very hard to now follow any updates. Even if someone opens a new issue or PR to continue where a locked one, there's no way for anyone but maintainers to comment on the original issue (which isn't likely to happen consistently) to alert me of that. And I really don't want to watch the whole repo, that's many times more noisy.

[Distutils] Re: Why lockbot?
So the API endpoint to lock an issue absolutely does not require comments on each thing. I think the idea is probably that it's easier to understand that this was an automated process doing this rather than being used in the vein of GitHub's moderation (which doesn't account for anything other than abuse).

[Distutils] Re: Why lockbot?
One thought - is it possible in github to subscribe to "everything that isn't closed"? I couldn't see such an issue but that would (a) let me ignore the lockbot messages, and (b) let me ignore close threads so I wouldn't even need lockbot.

[Distutils] Re: Why lockbot?
The bot has just been enabled, and it's catching up on historical bugs (which can't be done all in one go, as rate limits would hit us). Hopefully it should die down in a few days. Whether there's a way to tell github not to send such notifications, or whether it's possible for us to configure the bot to lock the thread but not add a comment, I don't know.
