Description
There are several approaches, this issue is for discussing and adding to these.
@V-ed suggests having a way for the community to flag an issue as a duplicate of another, but not immediately close it. Instead the bot would label the issue community-triaged
and after a few days close it.
Another approach would be to immediately close the issue (e.g., duplicates, questions) and add a label community-triaged
, so the team could still query for these issues, but they also immediate disappear from our regular queries.
The bot could also label new issues by new reporters as first-issue
(and post a welcome message) to help spot returning reporters. We could then think about weaving that into the community triage, but generally I prefer to go with less rules/process.
