Automated reminders for Issues in Gitlab
It would be good if there was a way in Gitlab to automatically send email reminders of issues that they have reported or been assigned, which need action. Because unless we are actively working on a project, support request or it's a personal project, we have no way to be reminded and triggered to come back and work on a specific CiviCRM issue. And there are many CiviCRM issues that still need work!
To solve this problem, it would be good to implement automated reminders for Issues in Gitlab so that the Reporter and Assignee can be reminded on a weekly basis that there is an Issue open that needs their attention.
There should be a method for disabling the reminder on a per issue basis (sssh!) or for all issues. I think it would be reasonable if the automated reminder was enabled by default for all users, provided there was a method of disabling.
If someone has taken the time and effort to report an issue, then there is a reasonable expectation that they will also be interested in following up, providing more information or marking it as closed if the problem has been resolved. However, if the system does not remind them about the issue, then it is easily lost in the noise and to be honest with you, can be quite hard to find in Gitlab.
Given that there is no such system in place currently, the chances of issues being reported and not followed up on are pretty high.
If someone has been assigned an Issue then it would be good to remind them of that Assignment. If there is a bug report which requires more information, then assign the issue back to the Reporter along with the request for more details.
Raising this request in response to my own note on dev/core#3750 (comment 80079)
