Open source autofixer bot rescues stale PRs while keeping original author credit
glcst · x · 2026-11-11
An open source maintainer is doubling down on open source amid more contributions than human teams can handle, introducing an autofixer bot.
- One welcomed feature: it rescues contributor PRs that were ignored and about to be closed as stale, remaking them with a Co-Authored-By credit so original authors keep authorship when the PR lands.
- The team frames it as an attempt to scale open source without closing up shop.
