Understandable. But surely you would have a fall back way to deploy given your main way doesn't work? I can deploy my apps via Hubot, but I can also deploy them without Hubot because I have an abstraction that Hubot uses to deploy my apps. And as far as I know GitHub have also something similar in place.

A bug in any piece of software is going to cause issues, Hubot isn't an exception.

Yes. And I agree that any piece of software in you stack can ahve bugs that make life difficult. My issue is that (1) Hubot is supposed to be central to your ecosystem and (2) when I looked at the code at first I saw a style of deployment and docs that made me think that running it would be more trouble than it's worth.

I am continually trying to help improve the deployment and documentation of Hubot, and I even created https://hubot-factory.herokuapp.com that makes it really easy to get up and running on Heroku.

Cool. That's good to know. FWIW, this is the kind of project I would contribute to, was my plant not so full currently.
