Hi,

I think a combination of probot's apps would do the job.

On just a quick look, leads me to the following apps :

To enforce min no of approvals : https://probot.github.io/apps/minimum-reviews/
To enforce DCO : https://probot.github.io/apps/dco/
To auto assign PR's : https://probot.github.io/apps/auto-assign/
For reminders : https://probot.github.io/apps/reminders/

There are a lot of other apps which can potentially make the contributor experience better. The apps listed there already run somewhere but if we need, we can run it on own servers and they should do fine. Plus, if these are not enough, we can create our own custom apps. We will need to deploy the custom one on our own though.

So wdyt?

Hi Thierry,

Thanks for raising this issue. What are the options out there?

I've found lgtmco (https://github.com/lgtmco/lgtm) but the repo
has been archived which means we cannot expect any support. But this
might be enough for our needs.

Thanks,
Sebastien
