slackbot should only post mentions once a day

[SergeyBiryukov]

ircbot only posted comments to Trac tickets once a day.

Looks like slackbot does not have the same restriction, which results in duplicate comments (see the screenshot).

A smarter restriction could be better, when a ticket is mentioned it could start a timer for like 15 minutes and reset every time it is mentioned again. Then it will report all disconnected occurrences.

Just an idea.

There seems to be a slight bug here that makes the slack mentions get pushed in twice as well (so it's mentioned once, but it gets two "mention" entries in trac)

I think the second mention comes from Slack itself displaying the ticket summary.

I've never seen a second mention, and the bot is smart enough to avoid cross-posting the ticket summary. It *could* have happened due to a misconfiguration on our part (such as two outgoing webhooks watching the same Slack channel). If you ever see it again, then please open a new ticket as a bug.

I have throttling code for this done, but I wasn't able to debug why it wasn't working properly. I'll look into it.

Just noticed a duplicate summary in #forums, see #831.
