feat: Old Proposal Handler - Bounty #70 ($75)

[zhaog100]

Old Proposal Handler

Resolves #70

Problem

Maintainers rarely review old proposals on devpool.directory, and the team doesn't proactively handle them. This leads to a growing backlog of stale proposals.

Solution

A UbiquityOS plugin that automates stale proposal management:

1. Scan — Periodically scans repos for open issues matching proposal criteria
2. Remind — Posts comments on stale proposals asking for updates
3. Close — Auto-closes proposals with no response after warning period

Implementation

Repository: zhaog100/ubiquity-os-old-proposal-handler

• TypeScript + Deno, follows UbiquityOS plugin template
• Dual mode: event-driven (webhook) + CRON-based (daily scan)
• Deno KV for state tracking
• Structured metadata in comments for bot tracking
• Full configuration via pluginSettingsSchema

Configuration

plugins:
  - uses:
    - plugin: old-proposal-handler
      with:
        staleThreshold: "30 days"
        warningPeriod: "7 days"
        proposalLabels: []
        targetRepos: ["ubiquity-os/plugins-wishlist"]
        closeOnExpiry: true

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added documentation for an automated stale proposal handler. The proposal outlines a three-stage lifecycle: (1) periodic repository scanning for stale proposals using configurable thresholds and optional labels, (2) posting reminder comments and applying a stale-proposal label with state tracked in Deno KV, and (3) closing proposals after a warning period without human activity. The implementation combines event-driven webhooks with daily CRON scans, includes configurable closure behavior, and provides example YAML configuration and implementation file responsibilities.
