I don't think that's good for either the packages that are using bots
or for Fedora as a whole.
While the bots certainly don't always get it right nor do the humans
and I would garner that there's a lot more problems introduced in this
way by humans, over the years I've spent considerable time fixing
issues like this introduced by humans. Do we ban humans too? Do we ban
RHBZ bots as well because they don't always get it right either?
Ultimately automation is hard, but ultimately I feel it generally gets
it wrong no less than humans do, and generally in a consistent way at
least.
I definitely agree here, we want automation to evolve rather than
simply banning it. I understand the problem with automation, but
anyone can make mistakes. We should definitely have a contact person
responsible for the bot. And we can just ban the bot if it does
something unusual.
