Greetings Ansible Community, The change [0] to enable ansibot [1] to auto-close issues and PRs that have the `needs_collection_redirect` label [2] in ansible/ansible repository was just merged. In addition to closing, bot will also post a comment explaining the reason and a link to a collection that the issue/PR should be moved to. The bot will also add a label `bot_closed` to such issues so we can go back and verify bot's actions. As an additional note, while ansibot tries its best to determine the collection the issue/PR should be moved to, it is not a trivial task and if it seems off please reach out on IRC or mailing list to get help figuring out the correct place for the issue/PR. For further information please see [https://github.com/ansible/ansibullbot/blob/master/docs/collection\_migration.md](https://github.com/ansible/ansibullbot/blob/master/docs/collection_migration.md) Thanks, Martin [0] [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/71179](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/71179) [1] [https://github.com/ansible/ansibullbot/](https://github.com/ansible/ansibullbot/) [2] [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/labels/needs\_collection\_redirect](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/labels/needs_collection_redirect)
