Hi team, A recent PR [1] fixed a misconfiguration that had prevented the automatic closing of stale issues from working in Polaris. While this feature seems to have been intended from the start, its re-enablement raises a fundamental question: should we be closing stale issues automatically?
Arguments for closing include: - It helps to clear out issues that are no longer being actively worked on or are irrelevant. - The system provides a 14-day grace period before an issue is closed, giving anyone the chance to comment and keep the issue open. Arguments against closing include: - An issue might still be valid even if the original reporter has become inactive. Closing it could lead to losing track of important, unresolved problems. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks, Alex [1]: https://github.com/apache/polaris/pull/3636
