Have forrestbot not make comments, just project changes (which can be ignored)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The addition of release tags by https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/Forrestbot/feed/ is useful but duplicative of gerritbot's notification upon changeset closure; it also doesn't need any reaction. I therefore want to ignore such changes.

Possible options I can think of:

  • make Forrestbot not add a comment, tell users to ignore notifications for project changes;
  • let users ignore specific users;
  • implement a blacklist which makes Forrestbot ignored for everyone's notifications, à la l10n-bot for jenkins.

I'm not using email since the migration to phabricator, because of the various bugs with emails and notifications.

I don't see upstream add a feature to disable web notifications in Phabricator for actions performed by specific users...

There are 2 more suggestions in the task description. :)

make Forrestbot not add a comment

Sounds like the best option to me. This way it also won't needlessly add itself as a subscriber. If we change it to only associate new projects, it'll make a lot less noise in the task timeline, too. And allows users to easily suppress its notifications.

The link to the commit is already provided by Gerritbot (usually twice) and by Phabricator's diffusion link.
