> So now I don't close anything anymore and let users get mad at Stale Bot instead. I can assure you I'm personally mad at whoever set up stalebot, not the bot or the people behind the idea itself. I have several high traffic repos, or repos that got very popular. The minute they're no longer manageable by myself, I've opened up the maintenance of the repository to more people than myself. If I stop showing up altogether in one of my repos I want it to keep breathing. This problem is easily solvable WITHOUT stalebot for all kinds of repositories up to the hyper-popular (tens of thousands of issues), at which point, there are still better ways to triage than with a stalebot. (Early in my career I used to triage for Wine, Webkit and later Chromium. It was fun. Stalebots didn't exist and would have been a dumb idea then, still are now.)
