Determine Repo Health Dashboard ownership and operation

[kdmccormick]

Links:

• https://github.com/openedx/edx-repo-health
• https://github.com/openedx/.github/blob/master/.github/workflows/repo-health-job.yml

Questions to answer:

• Does 2U use it?
• Does anyone else use it?
• Where can we see its output?
• I believe it is being run on 2U infrastructure today, but not on Open edX infra. This means it is missing some Open edX repos. Is this true?
• Does Open edX Maintenance WG want to use it?
• Who should maintain this tool?
• Do we need both this tool and Backstage and repo_checks? Could we merge some things together?

Things to do:

• Choose an Open edX maintainer, or transfer ownership to 2U, or deprecate.
• Remove the deprecated testeng-ci usage:

  .github/.github/workflows/repo-health-job.yml

  Line 86 in ea32d1d

  - name: Clone testeng-ci repo

  • It should use repo tools instead: feat: use pull request creator from repo-tools, not testeng-ci #137
• ... more follow-ups

FYI, there is also openedx/axim-engineering#530 which has context on how to setup repo-health for the openedx org. It is not running right now as far as I know.

Hi @kdmccormick @feanil
While looking into the setup of repo health dashboard for Open edX, I stumbled upon this issue. Since I've extensive working experience setting up repo health dashboard within 2U infrastructure, I am looking forward to take on this tooling for openedx ecosystem if it can be helpful for the community. I'd like this issue to be assigned to me so we can start discussion on it and decide the approach on it in the future.
