Enable a signal for help command
Proposal
Provide a capability for a non-gitlab-org
merge request author to signal for assistance with a command like @gitlab-bot help me
which will follow the following ruleset:
- If no group label is present then a message will be posted to #mr-coaching or something else
- If a group label is present then the automation will mention the EM for the group using data from https://about.gitlab.com/groups.json (need to add EM user)
Considerations
- How can we prevent spam?
- Have a user age requirement to trigger this automation
- Have an idle duration requirement that needs to be met
- Respond only to first help request in the merge request
- Note author must be MR author, so a stranger cannot spam others' merge requests.
