[Nix-dev] Bot that replies to PR with review points based on files that were touched

[Freddy Rietdijk]

Hi,

Currently we have the mention-bot that checks which files PR modifies, and
then mentions users that have modified those files before or are explicitly
watching those files. These contributors can then check the PR and maybe
come up with specific questions regarding the PR.

I'm looking for a bot that checks which files are touched, and that gives a
pre-configured message depending on the files that are touched. E.g., when
Python files are touched I would like the bot to reply to the PR with a
message that includes an additional checklist with questions like whether
the modifications were tested with all interpreters, and whether tests are
run.

Such a bot I think would be extremely useful since, even though our manual
is getting more extensive and includes a lot of points that contributors
should consider, that is also the problem; it becomes overwhelming. Both
new as well as longtime contributors will miss points that should be
checked.

Do you happen to know such a bot? If so, please let me know. Otherwise, I
think we will have to build one or maybe extend the mention-bot with this
feature.

Freddy
