Open an issue on my repository if cannot create a pull request from the upstream

#89 (comment) Good idea, but that's a pretty large feature. Backstroke has no infrastructure for that right now (and frankly, I don't have time to work on something like that right now). Always looking for contributions though.

Then can you easily make the bot open a issue on my repository instead of an email?

Would be even more effective then emails which can easily be marked as spam.

I could see people viewing these issues as spam though as well, and I'd like to minimize the amount of issues created on the Backstroke repo to the accord of Backstroke is creating issues on my repository - I'm going to flag backstroke for spam!.

If anything, it might be opt in, but this seems like another one of those features where I don't see myself working on it anytime soon (prs welcome though!)

It is the opposite, I am going to see backstroke as something which stops working and just keep it quite. How I am supposed to stay up with the upstream if backstroke fails silently?

Anyways, it should create only one issue, and update its first post when something changes.

Opening a issue is very convenient because if I am not updated with the upstream anymore, is an issue.

Anyways, opening an issue should be simple to implement. I can add a opt-in as a setting on the backstroke dash board.

I would add this as a global setting to all repositories because if some repository is broken and the user do not want to backstroke reporting it, then the user must disable the repository as it is already not syncing.

Currently there are any global settings there, I can just put a big toggle on the top of the page?

Sounds good.

I'd say maybe add another card for it? I don't know if it really belongs with the rest of the link settings.
