Stale bot are not okay. People spend time to write reproducible example of issue and are rewarded with annoying stale bot spam in 30 days. It could make some sense if the staleness was at least 365 days, then maybe the issue would have become irrelevant.
It's also really frustrating to face an issue, search for it on the tracker and find one or more closed reports with no attempt at fixing it. Those should not be close. The project is maybe yours, but record of issues isn't. It's a shared resource.
- geerlingguy 4y agoEvery time I see an actual, reproducible bug report come across one of my repos, I immediately label it with 'bug', and the stale bot will never touch the issue. I only let it loose on all the thousands of feature requests and incomplete issues where I have no idea what the person is even asking.
