How to udpate the watch status of someone in dist-git?

Let's start with: how to see someone's watch status?

There are two ways you can check this:

• Check the API

  Visit https://src.fedoraproject.org/api/0///watchers ie: https://src.fedoraproject.org/api/0/rpms/borgbackup/watchers

  it will give you information about all the watchers and what they watch.

• Using pagure-admin

  On the pagure host, run: pagure-admin get-watch <namespace>/<name> <usernme>, for example: pagure-admin get-watch rpms/borgbackup bpereto and it will return you the current watch status of that user on that project (or None if it is the default status).

Now how do you update this?

• Using pagure-admin

  On the pagure host, run: pagure-admin update-watch <namespace>/<name> <usernme>

  You will be prompted with options about which status to set, use -1 to revert to the default status.

  Example:

  pagure-admin update-watch rpms/borgbackup bpereto

  Using configuration file /etc/pagure/pagure.cfg The watch status can be one of the following: -1: reset the watch status to default 0: unwatch, don't notify the user of anything 1: watch issues and PRs 2: watch commits 3: watch issues, PRs and commits Status:-1 Updating watch status of bpereto to -1 (reset the watch status to default) on rpms/borgbackup
