Add ability to ignore issues with an assignee

[christianbundy]

This gives maintainers the ability to assign themselves (or someone else) to keep an issue being marked as stale. My hope is that this will let individual maintainers take responsibility for issues which would otherwise be marked as stale. Heavily influenced by #88. Thanks for your work on this project!

We'd love to have this at github/linguist!

@christianbundy I think you'll need to add tests in test/schema.test.js (and maybe test/stale.test.js).

[christianbundy]

Thanks for the quick review @pchaigno! I've just added some tests, please let me know if there's any other test coverage you think would be appropriate. Happy to hear Linguist is using Stale, I've always had great experiences on that repo. ❤️

Great to hear!

[christianbundy]

Anything I can do to help this along? I'd really love to use this to keep some issues from becoming stale.

[christianbundy]

Sorry to bother you, but I'd really love to get feedback on this before stale[bot] marks everything as stale again. Please let me know if you need any information or changes from me. Thanks! ✨

Thanks for doing this @christianbundy - and thank you for your patience 🙏

[christianbundy]

Thanks a lot! Looking forward to using this.

I'm noticing this a bit late, but shouldn't it be exemptAssigned rather than exemptAssignees?

[christianbundy]

@pchaigno

Feel free to change it if you'd like, I followed the pattern of exemptMilestones and exemptProjects when I chose exemptAssignees, but I don't have any strong feelings either way. 👍

[pchaigno]

@JasonEtco When will this take effect on GitHub? If it's not in effect yet, I'll open a pull request.

[christianbundy]

@pchaigno It's already working, check out my test!

[pchaigno]

Nice! Let's keep it that way then.
