Description

It's common for the last activity on a PR to be irrelevant:

  • comment from triage asking for status
  • author asking for status
  • rustbot informing about a merge conflict
  • author fixing a merge conflict

Ideally, we would track review activity:

  • exclude comments by the author
  • exclude rustbot comments
  • exclude comments by others with certain keywords like "triage", "status", "bump", etc
  • include all activity by the assigned reviewer
  • include code-review activity
  • exclude drafts

This obviously isn't possible with the basic Github filters available, but I think it would give us a much better idea of how long PRs are sitting without activity. Merge conflict notifications alone likely result in a de-facto upper limit to time-since-updated.
