When I see projects on Github using the Stale Bot to automatically close issues, I don't bother looking any further. There is something so incredibly infuriating about having an issue closed automatically - when I know it is still a problem but no one has had time to look at it yet. It reminds me very much of the MSDN community threads where the accepted answer is "reinstall Windows and see if that fixes it" with hundreds of replies after that indicate it did not help.
- ljm 7y agoI wonder if this would change if GitHub took the simple step of removing the PR/issue counters from the navigation. Because I can’t see a reason for automatically dismissing issues you ignore as stale, unless you think the issue count is bad optics for your project. As well as github’s issue triage piece being non-existent. All you’ve got is a list that shows you 20 things at a time, and it suffers from the social media effect where anyone can add bullshit memes to the thread once someone on twitter has directed the mob to it. You don’t really see that happen so much outside of github.
