Description
I believe tangentially related to https://github.com/ossf/allstar/issues/247 - I'm thinking more along the lines of firing a HTTP POST to a webhook (Slack for example) with details such as:
- Date/Time
- Repository issue was discovered in
- Issue description
- Link to repository
It would be nice to experiment with this to see how receptive engineers are to issues pinged to a channel in Slack Vs. creating a GitHub Issue.
This could also be used as a mechanism to get logs from the allstar hosted platform to users of the app.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating how Allstar discovers issues and delivers existing notifications, then define the webhook configuration and payload; done should mean an HTTP POST includes the listed details and can support hosted-platform logs.
