If your open source project uses “stale bots” to close issues after a period of inactivity, I am not going to participate in your project.
These bots do nothing to help issues be fixed. What they do is put undue pressure on the author of an issue to come up with a fix themselves, or to discount issues raised by people who are not familiar with the language or toolset used by the project.
I can report a bug, well, without writing a single line of code. If your stale bot closes it, you didn’t want the bug report. Happy to oblige.
