Hi,
There are already some canned responses somewhere in Savannah, which I
never
use because I always feel that a canned response will not apply
exactly. What
I do is to use some text documents that I quickly adapt to each
situation. The e-mail response to a project submission is the part
that takes
me the shortest time (compared to reviewing the code or trying to
understand
a description, for instance); I do not think a script would help me
much in
that case and Savannah users love to receive personalized responses
and not
automatic responses as in SourceForge.
On the other hand, I think the script you propose would be very
helpful for
the "mysql -e 'delete...'" part. It would be very useful if every
project removal was logged somewhere in /var/log; something similar to
what sf_sync_www and sf_cvs do. Even better if the /var/log file would
register every project received and approved. Sometimes people ask
what
happened to their projects and I find it very hard to find out when it
was
submitted (mailman does not help searching the savannah-hackers
archive), who
handled the sbmission and what happened to the project.
