Google uses several GitHub accounts to help us manage the hundreds of open source projects we've released on GitHub. We've listed some of those accounts here, so that if you see activity from them on your issue or pull request you can know that these really are official Google accounts. This is not necessarily an exhaustive list, but we'll try and keep it up to date with our more active accounts.
- googlebot
- The googlebot account is primarily used to comment on pull requests, directing contributors to sign a Contributor License Agreement when necessary. You may also occasionally see other comments or actions from this account, doing things like triaging issues or pull requests.
- GoogleCodeExporter
- This account is used when migrating projects from code.google.com to GitHub using the automated Export-to-Github tool.
