- I can put more metadata in the tag name than assignable (to help people decide who to page) Ah, page as in ping. That meaning I always find weird (and don’t remember).
summon (someone) over a public address system, so as to pass on a message
IMHO multiple assignment would work better as it actually sends notification (if one choose to receive such).
Yet, you’re right, deciding whom to page/assign is often non-obvious. Not sure if few-word description if any helpful. (e.g. whom to contact on hackage-security problems, I’m actually unsure whether it’s edsko or dcoutts, or on something else...).
OK, I am convinced we should drop it.
Let's do this:
- To page someone, just write CC @blah in the message - We should add an issue template that requests you CC someone and explains who you might want to CC
If you don't already know about it, this bot: https://github.com/facebook/mention-bot is worth investigating in addition to the work you've mentioned. -- Love in Jesus Christ, John Alfred Nathanael Chee http://www.biblegateway.com/ http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~chee/
