Create bot account for automatic issue updates

[blairconrad]

#1654 causes our "deploy" script to automatically note which issues are part of which release, but the comments are attributed to @thomaslevesque, even if he's not the one who pushed the release. He suggests we make a bot account for these kinds of updates.

Created @afakebot account.

Will

• give it permissions to
  • comment on issues
  • attach artifacts to GitHub releases
• generate an API token and add it to AppVeyor

@thomaslevesque, I made the account and did what I could to grant appropriate permissions. The API key has been installed on AppVeyor. I guess we'll just see how it goes when we deploy next!

For what it's worth, this is how I made the avatar (in several sizes, but we really didn't need them all):

try:
    import Image
    import ImageDraw
except:  # NOQA - fallback, no matter the cause
    try:
        from PIL import Image, ImageDraw
    except:  # NOQA - we'll raise a better exception
        raise Exception("Can't import PIL or PILLOW. Install one.")


def build_icon():
    bot = Image.open("noun_Robot_1933372.png")
    bot = bot.crop([89, 0, 610, 600])

    socks = Image.new("RGB", bot.size)
    draw = ImageDraw.Draw(socks)
    draw.rectangle([0, 451, 610, 487], outline="#C9B776", fill="#C9B776")
    draw.rectangle([0, 487, 610, 524], outline="#838D61", fill="#838D61")
    draw.rectangle([0, 524, 610, 561], outline="#89622F", fill="#89622F")
    draw.rectangle([0, 561, 610, 600], outline="#2C444E", fill="#2C444E")
      
    bot_with_socks = Image.new("RGB", bot.size, "white")
    bot_with_socks.paste(socks, mask=bot)

    icon = Image.new("RGB", (max(bot.size), max(bot.size)), "white")
    icon.paste(
        bot_with_socks,
        ((icon.size[0] - bot.size[0]) // 2, (icon.size[1] - bot.size[1]) // 2)
        )
    return icon


icon = build_icon()
for final_width in [512, 256, 128, 64, 48, 40, 32, 16]:
    icon.resize((final_width, final_width), Image.BICUBIC).save(f"fakeiteasybot_{final_width}.png")

Somehow I missed the notification for these messages...

Wow, you actually wrote some code to make an image? I would just have made it in high resolution with Paint.NET, the resized it to the appropriate size. Anyway, I love the result!

[blairconrad]

I often do use Paint.NET for things like this, and that's how I made the first prototype I sent you, but sometimes when I want to iterate, I find the GUI work tedious. Also, the original image had an alpha channel and I wasn't sure off the top of my head how to overlay the coloured sock and shoe bands over the legs without losing the transparency. I knew how to do it in Python! 😆

I really just (greatly) simplified a script I'd written to combine two Noun Project icons (in slighlty different ways) and produce a plethora of different-sized icons for another project, so it was less work than it seems…

[blairconrad]

In build 803, releasing FIE 5.4.0, the bot was able to attach packages to the release, but the deploy to NuGet failed (not the bot's fault) before the bot got a chance to update the issues in the milestone. Keeping this issue open until we see all functionality work.

[blairconrad]

As shown in #1696 (comment), it works!
