I just want to state that I think Oscar has a point in his last paragraph:

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.

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.
