If you happen to use the official sonar-github plugin to integrate Sonar into your GitHub pull requests you may have found that the plugin has a tendency to delete any comments it considers stale. This is especially annoying when the Github account used for the integration is also a member of your team, causing many valuable review comments to disappear!

While there exists an existing PR to fix this precise issue, the support for this Github Sonar plugin has dried up (with Sonar moving towards a new solution for its paid-for offerings). For this reason, we decided to fork the sonar-github project, applying the fix for this issue. Releases of our fork are available here.
