As article says, I wouldn't want hundreds of them. Imagine uploading a simple website, only to have your issue tracker harassed by JSLint bots, HTML validators and pull requests correcting your indentation, replacing <b>s with <em>s etc.
So some sort of "plugin" interface where you can opt in to certain bots on a per-repo basis? I could really get behind that! 100% automated and unsolicited? No thank you!
It would be really helpful if each had a short summary when you hover over them as its an awful lot of names which don't mean much. I came across Travis from elsewhere but never would have guessed it was CI from this list.
yeah, +1. I actually cloned the repo so I could peek at the source for the hooks to all these services I'd never heard of. Was easier (lazier) than googling.
Exactly. I think bots are exactly the wrong shape for this task. What would be better would be a framework for automatically processing the files in a git repository and then generating a commit. GitHub could have an interface for uploading them and for applying them to repositories. You could then apply them yourself, or someone else could fork, apply, and then submit a pull request.
