I think clearing the cache and re-running should work. 

However, there was an issue with the formatting of the Stale PR message (that 
got imported from the Apache Kafka version it is based on). I have fixed that 
in this PR [1], so if that can be merged first before clearing the cache that 
would be preferable. We may get some repeat comments.

Thanks,
