We should get a matrix bot set up that would send a message to the Fedora Docs channel if anyone creates a repository under the docs/ group here on Forgejo.

On top of that we might want some other types of notifications, something like:

new PR or issue opened in a repository (not all of them, but probably this one and the main site?)
site build failure
new thread with the #docs-team tag on Discourse

We need to be careful to not overdo it, though, I don't want the channel spammed by notifications constantly.

@pbokoc I had the necessary permissions to invite nonbot into the Fedora Docs Team repository. I added a webhook for the entire Docs organization for new repositories, new releases, new wiki edits, new issues, and new pull requests. We can see how noisy this is. I did not enable comments globally for the entire organization.

I did select many more webhook notifications for this repository, since it is a more active hub for the Docs Team.

We can make additional tweaks later, but since this is done, I am going to close the ticket as complete! 🌊

@pbokoc I had the necessary permissions to invite `nonbot` into the Fedora Docs Team repository. I added a webhook for the entire Docs organization for new repositories, new releases, new wiki edits, new issues, and new pull requests. We can see how noisy this is. I did not enable comments globally for the entire organization. I did select many more webhook notifications for _this_ repository, since it is a more active hub for the Docs Team. We can make additional tweaks later, but since this is done, I am going to close the ticket as complete! 🌊
