Triage based on milestone and when it was updated
We have milestones that are specific to releases, but we also use less precise milestones at GitLab:
- Next 3-4 releases
- Next 4-7 releases
- Next 7-13 releases
These milestones can go unnoticed for a while, and we'll sometimes wind up with one of these milestones on an issue for an excessively long period of time. Instead, we should be updating the milestone appropriately.
It would be nice to be able to set updated_at
conditions for milestones. If this was possible, GitLab Bot could comment in issues with stale milestones and summon a PM to update the milestone (or comment in the issue if it's still accurate).
Edit: this would be awesome, but it's not easily implementable without the epic below. We should revisit this after this is done.
Yes for tracking milestone events, that would be done in gitlab-org&48, and yes I think we should include API as part of that work.
