Disable two rules for two WebCompat components

[denschub]

Follow-up to #2533, we want to disable

• no_severity_ni
• no_severity_nag

for bugs inside

• Web Compatibility::Knowledge Base
• Web Compatibility::Tooling & Investigations

The bugs in these components aren't real-world site bugs, they're collection of task lists or metebugs. The severity are driven by the blocking bugs' P and S - so we don't really want to be nagged.

@marco-c I'd submit a PR, but I'm not entirely sure how. Looking at the workflow impl, it seems like those workflows read workflow.components_skiplist. But looking at configs/rules.json, it seems like this is a global config. How can I disable these specific BugBot workflows for those two components only?

If you add a component to workflow.components_skiplist, it will disable the following rules:

• no_severity_nag
• no_severity_ni
• p1_no_assignee

Since you are interested in disabling the rules for no_severity_nag and no_severity_ni only, you could add a local skiplist in configs/rules.json and merge it with the workflow skiplist for each of the rules that you are targeting.

For example, for the no_severity_nag rule, you could do that after the following line:

bugbot/bugbot/rules/workflow/no_severity_nag.py

Line 32 in 8ede0c2

self.components_skiplist = utils.get_config("workflow", "components_skiplist")

You could read the local skiplist with:

self.get_config("components_skiplist")

I'm also fine with disabling p1_no_assignee, to be honest. Most of those issues are not assigned - and we just didn't notice that nag yet because no issues are P1.

I'll submit a PR!
