+
+  This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no
+  activity for 180 days.
+
+  If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a
+  comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important
+  to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares
+  about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if
+  there is no other activity.
+
+  Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:
+
+  1. Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the
+     related code and @ mention them in a comment.
+  2. Ask on the [NixOS Discourse](https://discourse.nixos.org/).
+  3. Ask on the [#nixos channel](irc://irc.freenode.net/#nixos) on
+     [irc.freenode.net](https://freenode.net).
