Description

What do you think about automatically generating a list based on how long a signature is active. We could use such a script in the context of a GitHub Action to automatically open a PR that suggests updating the list.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how signatures become active and how the current list of signatures to ignore is maintained. Define the age threshold and the generated list format, then outline a GitHub Action that can open a pull request with updates. Done means the automation reliably proposes the expected list changes without manual regeneration.
