Hey, Today finally I was able to polish the code for phabricator maintenance bot [1]. In case you don't know, it's a bot that do cleanups in phabricator for cases Herald is unable to handle them (like moving tasks in columns). This bot probably has been spamming you with emails. I also made it practically completely automatic (You merge the pull request, you will see its effect one hour later). So pull requests are more than welcome. You can also simply add some rules for the bot to move tickets in columns.
If you want to help in maintaining the tool. Send me a message and I will add you to the toolforge tool.
Thanks! [1]: https://github.com/Ladsgroup/Phabricator-maintenance-bot
