[Infrastructure] FILterBot

[galen-mcandrew]

Filecoin Foundation needs a bot that can periodically check specific GitHub repos, tally issues, and post a message in certain Slack channels. We will utilize this bot across multiple workstreams, so it needs to be configurable for different teams.

Current workstreams/teams: FIPs/Community Governance, Filecoin Plus notaries, Filecoin Plus large datasets

Example workstream:

Every Wednesday, bot will check Filecoin Plus Client Onboarding repo (https://github.com/filecoin-project/filecoin-plus-client-onboarding) and tally issues that are Open and labeled: bot:LookingGood & state:Verifying. Bot will then post a comment in the Filecoin community slack channels #fil-plus and #fil-plus-notaries.

Sample message, simple version:

There are 35 open client applications for DataCap that can be reviewed and verified! You can find those open issues here.

Either the app isn't installed on your repository or the repository does not exist. Install it to proceed.
Note: You need to be an organization owner to install the app (or ask one to install it for you).

so i cannot really rest it with the data requested

Hello! This is connected to a next step microgrant request. A developer is working to build this custom slack bot that can operate on a weekly cadence and post reminders, without relying on being 'called' by someone directly from Slack or waiting for a push notification from GitHub.
