"cleanup" command for removing bot-directed comments #129

Description

@sneakers-the-rat

I love the reminder feature, it is my favorite and is like the only way i can keep on top of editor duties.

however this means that i end up leaving a spray of "editorialbot, remind me" comments in the review issue, which is a decent amount of clutter.

I wonder if it would be possible to have a "cleanup" command that removes editorialbot comments? I think that this would probably be mostly useful for reminders, so it should probably be scoped by command, so like:

@\editorialbot cleanup "remind"

and then the bot deletes all the comments

  • from me, that invoked the command
  • from the bot, that confirmed the command
  • from the bot, that were the actual reminders afterwards.
  • from me, triggering the cleanup

since this would be a provenance issue, this could get swept up into a <details> tag in the top issue comment like

expand/collapse cleaned up comments
timestamp account comment
2000-01-01T00:00 @\example hey editorialbot do my laundry
2000-01-01T00:00 @\editorialbot laundry in progress
