idea is good, but I do not see clear implementation of it. CircleCI tried to to make it and still not done, at least it is hard to make a use of it for now. |

Goal of this discussion is to gather general sentiments and inputs regarding the idea. If maintainers agree that such thing can be helpful, I can proceed with further research and prototypes.
Necessity:
While our CI, local maven runs, etc. are great at identifying and reporting errors, bottom line is that all of this can be overwhelming to a new contributor, as I have noticed more often than not, maintainers have to point out CI errors, and provide general advice.
The problem with that thing is:
The goal of such a bot would be to provide quick help with very basic issue, one at a time.
The bot can help with stuff like (but not limited to) to point out basic CI issues like: Commit message, Multiple commits, PR age, Spelling errors, PR not referencing any issue etc. General Tips like to run
mvn clean verify
, check for related PRs. adding documentation to PR etc.The bot would be able to point out such issues, and provide solution for the same in a more human-like comment, one at a time.
Also, while we are discussing some QoL, I would like to gather how we feel about interactive form to help users with bug report/PR templates, helping:
Note that these all our just very abstract ideas, I just want to first gather how do we feel about such stuff. Feasibility, technical details, all such stuff are not concern of this discussion.
