The conda-forge "autotick" bot is a crucial part of conda-forge's infrastructure. It enables automatic maintenance of conda-forge packages by pushing version updates to the underlying software and enabling large migrations of packages from one dependency to another (e.g., Python 3.7 to Python 3.8). As conda-forge grows in size, with over 9,000 packages to date, automatic maintenance of the conda-forge ecosystem will become even more important.
