I believe having this label - [suggest-closed] is helpful. 1. Adding this label is not an automated bot script that marks stale issues. A bot script would definitely be unwelcoming and also miss major issues just because it is stale. 2. This label is simply a way to identify issues that can be closed. There are many community members who submits PRs/suggest steps for the fix but cannot actually close the issue when deemed appropriate. Right now, a committer is tagged on the issue to be closed. With this label, any committer can see issues with this label and take appropriate action. 3. From what I see, community members are going through the issues, submitting the fix, responding with solutions or questions, waiting for confirmation and finally, label the issue. So I do not see why this is unwelcoming. 4. This label is not just for stale issues. This is simply a label to allow more committers to easily keep issues folder tidy in collaboration with community members.
