Apologies that you were affected by this. The script creating these pull requests was created and run by a third party not affiliated with the company. We were similarly upset by this.
- bionoid 8y ago> created and run by a third party not affiliated with the company. Are you saying you never hired the third party, they went about and did this of their own accord without talking to you first?
- rkh_popcorn 8y agoCorrect, this was from an overenthusiastic user, someone we did not know and had no direct contact with. At the time we weren't actually making money yet, and most of the contributions to Travis CI came from outside collaborators. To add to the confusion, we did indeed have a bot in the early days that would comment on pull requests, but only if the repository was using Travis CI already (this has now been replaced by GitHub's status API). However, this was not the same bot account that kept opening unsolicited pull requests on random projects.
- bionoid 8y agoThanks for the clarification -- is there an official writeup about the incident somewhere? (should have asked that initially, sorry)
- rkh_popcorn 8y agoI was looking for one as well, but it seems we did not write a blog post. I will do some digging when I find the time, as I know we at least messaged some people that voiced their frustration directly.
