Hi devs, I have seen some old pull requests for bugfix and new feature going to be stale. Some of us tried to ping to author several times but not respond in some months. For new feature we may have to wait for authors, but for bugfix waiting authors means we are aware of the bug but we don't fix the bug because of credit which doesn't make sense to me if we should wait for months.
So IMHO at least we may want to handle inactive bugfix pull requests not too late, Maybe creating new PR addressing same thing without retaining commits, or taking over PR via retaining commits. If possible it may be ideal to take over inactive but valuable pull requests with retaining commits. What do you think about it? And does some of us know about any issues including license, authorship, or so if someone takes over inactive pull request with retaining their credit (commits)? Thanks, Jungtaek Lim (HeartSaVioR)
