The new label makes sense to me, but Ismael: I want to make sure your
concern is fully addressed. I see your point about making sure we are not
shutting the door on a small fix that perhaps went unatended for benign
reasons. Perhaps a step before closure is feasble? something like getting a
nice message in the PR, "Ahoy! This PR hasn't moved in [X time]. If you're
still working on it, can you comment? Otherwise, our highly sophisticated
AI will declutter and close it in [Y days]".

Thoughts?
