Automatically ignore bot users

See original GitHub issue

Hey,

GitHub recently introduced bot users (aka integrations). It would be nice if bots would be automatically white-listed, since they can’t sign any CLA. They always include the tag [bot] in their committer name, e.g. greenkeeper[bot], which users are not allowed to use.

Also if there is a full user object, the type key can be checked, which is set to "Bot".

So It would be rather easy to filter them.

Have look at this example: https://api.github.com/repos/wireapp/wire-webapp/pulls/422/commits

This is related to this issue https://github.com/greenkeeperio/greenkeeper/issues/236

I absolutely love the irony of a bot commenting on an issue about bot users not being supported. (Also: Bump so this doesn’t get closed as stale.)
