Issues Cleanup

[blainsmith]

@NodeRedis/contributors @NodeRedis/owners I started sifting through some of the open issues to clean them up. I wanted to get on everyone's radar about how we should start, especially with some of the really old ones that are still open.

Anything older than 6 months just delete? I wanted to make sure some of the issues are covered by recent releases, but it looks like the releases are a outdated as well, but thats another topic. Looks like we are on track to get the test suite/CI/releases on the right path anyway.

I think anything older than 6 months is a good idea - unless it should obviously still be open.

Otherwise, if the issue is still... an issue... the original reporter can re-open it, or it'll be reported again (hopefully).

Sounds good to me.

Perhaps a boilerplate response about re-opening if it is still an issue? With so little activity for so long, some people have been patiently waiting and a random closing without explanation would be hard to swallow.

Yes, a boilerplate would be good. Something like:

"In order to better support this project and its new group of collaborators under a new org we are trying to clean up and close issues older than 6 months. Your issue may have been fixed since the issue was open, however, if you are still experiencing a problem please re-open this issue and we will label it accordingly."

I can take this on. Anyone else want to throw their input in? I will probably start this weekend.

Sounds great to me.

Ok, don't hate me if I spammed the crap out of anyone haha. I got us down to 28 open issues that have been created within the last 6 months. Hopefully this alleviates some of the issue anxiety! 😜
