make a "bids-maintenance" GitHub user, and let it do the automatic work

[sappelhoff]

Speaking of bids-maintenance, that might be a more sensible user than Franklin for automatic commits to the main repository.

Over there, we discussed that it might make sense to create a new GitHub user called bids-maintenance which we can use to do tasks such as:

• automatic changelog commits (currently done via Franklin's account)
• making an entry on Zenodo for getting a citable DOI

The access to this account should be limited to BIDS maintainers.

+1

though, a blocking point is the Zenodo entry to get a citable DOI. This conversation is captured in #66

Am I correct that currently the only "automatic" work is pushing the changelog entry?

On these lines:

bids-specification/.circleci/config.yml

Lines 132 to 134 in c6037c5

	git config credential.helper 'cache --timeout=120'
	git config user.email "franklin.feingold@gmail.com"
	git config user.name "Changelog-bot"

I think so, yes. We just need to change the user.email to the email associated with the bot user. The name is probably fine as-is.

[franklin-feingold]

yes I think so too - I think our automatic processes can be handled by Circle pretty well (and centralize where the automatic work is being processed)

I created @bids-maintenance. Ping me privately for my phone number and I can share the password over Signal, or we can arrange some other private channel.
