BTW, the "I don't have enough time" argument is also a little frustrating because you are currently insisting on doing AUTOSEL at all, at the current sensitivity that picks up way too many commits. I can certainly imagine that that uses a lot of your time! But, many contributors are telling you that AUTOSEL is actually *worse than nothing* currently.
So to some extent this is a self-inflicted problem. You are *choosing* to spend your precious time running in-place with something that is not working well, instead of putting AUTOSEL on pause or turning down the sensitivity to free up time while improvements to the process are worked on.
(And yes, I know there are many stable patches besides AUTOSEL, and it's a lot of work, and I'm grateful for what you do. I am *just* talking about AUTOSEL here. And yes, I agree that AUTOSEL is needed in principle, so there's no need to re-hash the arguments for why it exists. It just needs some improvements.)
Just to make sure I'm sending the right message: I'd *love* to improve it, but I need help. I'm not pushing back on your ideas, I'm asking for help with their implementation.
Maybe I'm putting words in Greg's mouth, but I think we both would ideally want to standardize around a single set of tools and scripts, it's just the case that both of us started with different set of problems we were trying to solve, and so our tooling evolved independently.
