This project has a very long backlog of old issues, most of which have probably aged out and won't be a priority for solving. Today we have almost 200 issues, the oldest of which is from 2017.
We're better keeping up with PRs: only 17 open, 3 of which are from 2024.
To help manage this better, I propose adding https://github.com/actions/stale which "Warns and then closes issues and PRs that have had no activity for a specified amount of time."
There are a lot of fine-grained controls, but for discussion what if we start with the default configuration behavior:
- Add a label "Stale" on issues and pull requests after 60 days of inactivity and comment on them
- Close the stale issues and pull requests after 7 days of inactivity
- If an update/comment occur on stale issues or pull requests, the stale label will be removed and the timer will restart
We can also define a specific lable like save that would keep that Issue/PR open indefinitely.
@jacalata and @jorwoods what do you think?
