An automation tool or bot that is not managed by the Node.js project must seek explicit authorization by opening an issue with their owner in nodejs/admin before interacting with the project.
Interactions (including Issues, Comments, Pull Requests and Reviews) made by an automation that was not authorized by Node.js collaborators are subject to immediate moderation enforcement on the automation and owner without notice.
