Please be consistent in the line length with the rest of the file. I think the maximum length is ~100 characters. A possible exception are URLs or other language constructs which have to be in a single line.

Request for clarification: Is this for PR's that have failed testing, or all PR's?

I think we should clarify that this statement is about missing activity on the contributor's side after being asked to change something. It just wouldn't make any sense to auto-close PRs if the we (= the project's team) are too slow responding to it or we haven't decided how/when to merge the PR or parts of it.

So #28 or #116 are definitely not in danger of being autoclosed... 😉

-Formatted the guidelines to be <100 characters per line. 
-Clarified that it concerns cases where the author didn't respond.
