[Bioc-devel] strange email
Again trying to automate over thousands is also more challenging. This is the first stage, Ideally we will build this out more and instead of an email have a website page or link that a maintainer can easily go to on their own and trigger themselves. Email was the easiest to immediately implement. Now that the associated package has been accepted, once it officially propagates I can direct people to that app so they can clearly see what package(s) are associated and why they have been contacted https://github.com/Bioconductor/Contributions/issues/4096 This is not about build failures. The build system does that reminder already. This is about maintainers accepting the code of conduct, licensing, general Bioconductor policies of continuing package maintenance (having active emails, responding to build failures, etc....)

* This email is associated with at least one Bioconductor package. Would it make sense to include the name(s) of the associated Bioconductor package(s) to be more clear? FWIW I was also wondering whether this is a note of a particular build-failure or a general Bioc policy reminder ...

But I don't have any bioconductor packages, at least to the best of my knowledge, and it doesn't give any hints. (Nor do I use bioconductor). I am loathe to agree to policies that are irrelevant to me. I know that several bioconductor packages make use of my survival package -- is this spill over from that? If not, how do I either find out what package they are talking about, or stop this spam message?
