Re: Suggestion: Add a RFS bot to the IRC Channel
Unfortunately (because I like that feature quite a bit) I must agree
with Ananthu here.

I actually don't support this in the Rust team specifically. Usually it
is useful, but the sheer amount of RFS requests we sometimes have can be
really overwhelming for the topic. I speak from personal experience
because there was a time with myself having over 50 active. And another
one is that, we already have a script to list all RFS requests. And with
how we are supposed to work in debcargo-conf repo, a simple 'find src/ -
name RFS' can actually list all packages that currently request an RFS.
Sure, the requests in the irc topic hanging over your face might prompt
you to take care of it, but I don't think it adds much benefit for us.
For some more context, according to its RFS IRC bot the Python team has
5 RFS's open right now. In debcargo-conf alone, `find . -name RFS` says
we have 74.
On the other hand, it may be useful to configure a bot that lists open
RFS's in debcargo-conf *in a message* when someone types !rfs,
optionally limited to filtering for a single submitter.
Cheers!
