I agree that a hamfisted policy would do more harm than good.
That's why it's so hard to define!
I'm thinking of something like: if there's $(legitimate)
request for changes but the author is dormant for more than
$(X) days, then close.

Macros:
legitimate=?
X=?
legitimate= consensual, if there is no consensus between phobos
devs it cannot be pulled anyway. I'd think those are all
changes/PR that are not tagged with »decision block«. I'd think
even something like »fix your indentation« is legitimate.
X= 20 days, ask author if he's dead. If he does not respond in 10
days, close and leave a comment to resubmit the pull request on
resurrection.
