Lock closed issues older than 60 days

[puremourning]

This locks issues which are:

• issues, not PRs
• closed
• not updated in last 60 days.

Runs once a day at around midnight (in some timezone, shrug). Can be run manually.

Code for the action:
https://github.com/dessant/lock-threads/blob/master/src/index.js

Settings for the action:
https://github.com/dessant/lock-threads#inputs

Things we might want to do:

• also lock closed PRs ?
• add a custom message like "Locking issue as it is closed and has not been updated for 60 days"

also lock closed PRs ?

I don't think so. Leaving PRs unlocked doesn't attract as much necrobumping and it's nice in case of "hey, git bisect points to this PR".

add a custom message like "Locking issue as it is closed and has not been updated for 60 days"

I guess we've decided not to.

Why, what in the github is wrong with necrobumping... StackOverflow even rewards it! 😁

It's almost like you're trying to discourage folks from using search by making this change. Gone are the days when checking search before asking was good netiquette?

I'm sure you have your reasons, totally respecting those and am here not to persuade — just be aware of crap like here probot/stale#312. Of course, I hope dessant/lock-threads will be much different.

Appreciated that at least PRs are left alone.

quite the opposite. CONTRIBUTING.md is clear enough about this.

Posting on very old, closed issues is usually pointless and most often does not add useful data. It’s better to raise a new isssue.
