I just want to state that I think Oscar has a point in his last paragraph: On Sunday, February 1, 2026 at 8:18:02 AM UTC-6 Oscar wrote:
On the other hand if we have a 1 month reminder and then nothing happens in the next month then chances are high that the maintainers don't want it or the contributor is not willing or able to complete it. At that point leaving it open is usually just misleading. No one is likely coming back to it and if they do come back to it then it can be reopened to signal that change in status. -- Oscar I am one of those contributors with very limited time and have open PRs that I currently do not have time to work on. As long as the reminder messages are clear about what the automatic closure means I would be fine with having my PRs closed and having to make a new PR (or reopen an old one) with updates when I am able to work on them. I think it would be useful to new people coming to the project to see a smaller number PRs that are actively being worked on. In contrast to PRs, Issues should be left open until resolved in some way. I think a community push (say an "issue month") each year to review and resolve issues starting with the oldest would be a good idea. My quick look at some of the older issues suggests something of this sort has not been done in 4 or 5 years.
