at-pr creates a queued job using at which, after an
allotted response time is past, checks the PR to see if its state
has changed from open. When the PR is originally filed,
file-pr checks the notify-about-expired-prs parameter in
the dbconfig file. If this parameter is set to true,
file-pr calls at-pr, which sets up the expiry check.
The submitters file contains the response time for each
>Submitter-Id: (see The submitters file). The time is determined in business hours, which are
defined in the database's dbconfig file (see Overall database configuration).
If the PR is urgent and is still open after the requisite time period
has passed, at-pr sends a reminder to the gnats
administrator, to the maintainer responsible for that submitter, and
to the maintainer responsible for the PR with the following message:
To: submitter-contact responsible gnats-admin
Subject: PR gnats-id not analyzed in #hours hours
PR gnats-id was not analyzed within the acknowledgment period
of #hours business hours. The pertinent information is:
