Description

Shape. Two GitHub Actions:

  • pr-gate.yml auto-closes PRs from non-listed contributors with a templated thank-you-and-please-read-CONTRIBUTING response.
  • issue-gate.yml does the same for issues.
  • Maintainer comments lgtm (grants PR rights, adds to .github/APPROVED_CONTRIBUTORS) or lgtmi (grants issue rights). Handled by approve-contributor.yml.

No weekend clause. No hostile language. Same triage discipline a solo maintainer would apply manually, applied automatically.

Existing issues this resolves on PR merge

Closes:

  • Closes #688

When opening a PR for this issue, the PR body must include the Closes #N lines for every issue above that this PR fully resolves, so they auto-close on merge.

Slate item 13/18. Tracking doc: .private/issue-slate.md (maintainer-only).

Research direction
Create two new GitHub Actions workflows: pr gate.yml and issue gate.yml to auto close PRs/issues from non approved contributors. Also create an approve contributor.yml workflow to handle maintainer commands 'lgtm' and 'lgtmi'. Add a .github/APPROVED CONTRIBUTORS allowlist file. Ensure the workflows use the CONTRIBUTING.md template for responses. Refer to the linked tracking doc at .private/issue slate.md for more context.
