DMD also has at least 30 PRs which have had no action from the

open; they just take up auto-tester resources and lower the
signal to noise ratio.
FYI: stalled PRs don't take up resources (except they target
stable, which is why one of the reasons stable PRs should be
merged ASAP). It's due to the auto-tester sorting PRs by their
activity.
BTW: For those who haven't seen this, dlang-bot now detects these
stalled PRs and for now labels them as "stalled":
https://github.com/dlang-bots/dlang-bot/blob/master/source/dlangbot/cron.d#L60
I'm not sure whether auto-closing them is a good idea, but we
definitely need to do sth. about them.
Also one year without any activity is a very long time. Dlang-bot
currently uses 90 days though imho that's already very
conservative.
Example:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+label%3Astalled
