action #154759
Updated by okurz 3 months ago
## Motivation
https://gitlab.suse.de/qa-maintenance/openQABot/ is a copy&rewrite of https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-release-tools/blob/master/openqa-maintenance.py which was already partially replaced by https://github.com/openSUSE/qem-bot/ . openQABot was still used for L3+MR testing, see https://gitlab.suse.de/qa-maintenance/openQABot/-/pipeline_schedules but according to latest runs, e.g. https://gitlab.suse.de/qa-maintenance/openQABot/-/jobs/2230100 and https://gitlab.suse.de/qa-maintenance/openQABot/-/jobs/2230810 and also because I don't see any jobs in https://openqa.suse.de/parent_group_overview/30#grouped_by_build I assume nobody needs openQABot anymore. To reduce our maintenance effort we should fully decommission openQABot.
