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.

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.
