This doesn't seem correct, as the bot may close fixable bug issues.
Maybe staleLabel: stale or staleLabel: closed-due-to-inactivity?

indeed, copy/pasted the reference doc, but should better adopt stale we use here

Thanks! I'll try to have a look at the configuration of this (need to think if there's other labels to exclude; e.g., I recall we added a In general 👍 on adding this though! |

Should this be status/stale to match other labels, or do we think stale is fine? (I don't personally have a strong opinion either way)
- What I did
Added configuration for stale bot so that old issues without recent activity get closed.
With 4k open issues, we hardly can offer efficient triage, so using stale bot can help focus on active topics - we did the same on docker/compose. Bot is configured to exclude feature requests so that we can keep them alive for future investigation, or close those after review by an explicit decision.
