It's super annoying to be forced to use this bad convention, and
apparently everyone agrees. The only reason no improvements have been
done is because those were blocked on writing a better checker.
I strongly believe that no checker is better than a bad checker, so
let's just delete it in the meantime. I kindly asked anyone who sees
this to complain about overly long sentences in review in the future, I
think we can make this turn out fine.
This tool looks for HTML comments like `<!-- date: 2021-01 -->` in each
Markdown source file and compiles a list of dates that are older than
six months. It then opens an issue with that list, with checkboxes for
each file and date. Note that it will only open an issue if there was at
least one date older than six months; it does nothing if the list is
empty.
This tool is automatically run monthly in a GitHub Actions workflow.
I have tested the tool on a private repo and confirmed that it works.
