Hello,
likely everyone on sr-dev likely noticed the rather large amount of github-actions notifications related to opened issues and pull requests, they happened because of trying to automatise/optimize tasks related to them and somehow keep both reporters and interested developers aware of items ageing. Enabling that action to see how it goes with it triggered rather large amount of notifications, because it worked also on existing items, not only on the future ones.
Anyhow, if there is notification that an item is getting too old and nobody has interest on it, then it may be closed after a while, right now is 6 weeks notice of inactivity, plus 2 weeks to react on it -- these values can adjusted of course base on feedback. If there is interest in the item, simply the label stale can be removed.
Cheers, Daniel
