And old rant in their issue queue: https://github.com/probot/stale/pull/107#issuecomment-379021783 https://github.com/probot/stale/pull/107#issuecomment-379021... > Thesis: Stalebot -- in dutiful service of current human resource constraints -- feels like it unthinkingly prioritizes discard of past contributors' time resources, over the mobilization of new human resources. I've had a beef with Stale since early on. It's a very old-world view of solving the problem of open source capacity. A better tool would instead try to find and encourage new resources (new contributors), whereas stalebot drives them away, and so kinda cuts the project off at the knees imho, in the short-term, it rescues the cognitive and emotional resources of current contributors, but (in the long-term) drives future contributors away through promoting lack of care and by encouraging maintainers to not interact with them.
