I can't agree with the "just close older bugs and PRs." There's good

Relying on the original author to revive it will not work.
It's similar with older bugs. They still have discussion on them that
contributes valuable information and insight to anyone wishing to work
on it. Closing them with no action means the information is all lost.
As for autotester resources, it should be easy enough to have it skip
testing any PRs that have had no activity for XXX days.
I don't believe "Logan's Run" makes a good foundation for a
functioning QA system.

A perfect project would be able to make quick decisions on PRs, but that
doesn't mean closing PRs makes a better project. It's a little bit
cargo-culty.
Does anyone know how the statuses RESOLVED/LATER and RESOLVED/REMIND are
