Similar to the auto tagging of missing emails, this would enable us to suggest users make requests to these authorities and/or offer suggestions as to what they could ask for.

Automatically tag bodies with few public requests
b59df51 
Automatically apply and remove a tag to bodies that have a low number of
public requests, so that users can find them via a public search to help
bootstrap basic transparency/site content, and admins can add a
tag-based note to suggest generally useful first requests.

The changelog suggests a one-shot script to mass-apply the tag to
existing bodies that are missing an email.

Yep, this was pretty trivial #7363.

A couple of questions:

  1. What counts as "very few"? I've gone with "under 5". Feels about right?
  2. What do we want the tag to be called. I've gone with not_many_requests, but it's an easy change if we can think of something a bit better.
  3. I've ignored the fact there may be 100s of currently-private requests. Do we want the tag applied if that's still the case, or do we only want it applied where there are very few requests total (rather than very few currently public requests)?

  1. I think less than 5 makes sense for now, we can always up it later.
  2. not_many_requests is perfect.
  3. I'm fine ignoring embargoed requests. The chances of there being tons made to a tiny parish meeting somewhere is negligible, and it keep the appearance of any note consistent with what the average user/visitor can see.

I'd agree with only counting public (non-embargoed, non-reduced-prominence) requests, such that the presence of the note is consistent with the body's public page.

Regarding number, do we have means/medians/etc for the number of public requests to bodies with which this could be compared?
