Description

Maintainers want tracking params pointed out and consciously decide which ones to include.

a library I know is https://codeberg.org/c-base/perlbot/src/commit/4d0b3f1d196a5a6e89217fdb577336fb17821ed2/src/perlbot/bot.py#L7

ACs:

  • CI will point out tracking parameters found to maintainers
  • document in CONTENT.md that tracking params are generally unwanted
  • same in twim-guide

  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by locating the repository's CI configuration and reviewing the linked perlbot example, then inspect CONTENT.md and the twim-guide. Done means CI points out tracking parameters to maintainers, and both documents state that tracking parameters are generally unwanted.
