DevIndex: Blacklist identified bots from failed.json #9126

@tobiu

Description

@tobiu

The recent cleanup run identified several users in the "Penalty Box" (failed.json) that are clearly bots or service accounts. These should be moved to the blacklist.json to prevent further processing attempts.

Identified Bots:

  • brewtestbot (Homebrew testing bot)
  • codacy-badger (Codacy service account)
  • weblate (Translation service bot)

Under Consideration:

  • bitdeli-chef (Likely a service account for Bitdeli, given the name structure and association with analytics/tracking repositories. Recommend verifying if it acts as a human contributor or purely automated).

Tasks:

  1. Add the confirmed bots to apps/devindex/resources/blacklist.json.
  2. Remove them from apps/devindex/resources/failed.json.
  3. Run cleanup to confirm they are pruned from the system.
