The recent cleanup run identified several users in the "Penalty Box" (
failed.json) that are clearly bots or service accounts. These should be moved to theblacklist.jsonto prevent further processing attempts.Identified Bots:
brewtestbot(Homebrew testing bot)codacy-badger(Codacy service account)weblate(Translation service bot)Under Consideration:
bitdeli-chef(Likely a service account for Bitdeli, given the name structure and association with analytics/tracking repositories. Recommend verifying if it acts as a human contributor or purely automated).Tasks:
apps/devindex/resources/blacklist.json.apps/devindex/resources/failed.json.cleanupto confirm they are pruned from the system.
