Disable Danger for release automation MRs
Per @skarbek
I don't believe dangerbot is useful for our MR's related to the release process. Is there a way we can force the bot to ignore our issues?
And I generally agree. See https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/26866 for one example. The "MR ID in a changelog matches the current MR" check is almost always going to be a false negative. Same for the technical writing check, the "target master
" check, reviewer roulette, etc.
I propose we:
-
Determine which checks, if any, are still applicable to release automation -
Update tooling to automatically add a label such as release-automation
to MRs and issues -
Disable invalid checks for anything with that label
