GitHub stale bot considered harmful
Obviously it&#x27;s a subjective thing.  I disagree with Drew and his incredibly entitled perspective on this completely.  As a user of OSS, the project owner owes me nothing at all, and has no responsibility to field my requests, however valid they may be.  From a solo dev to a large team, there&#x27;s still only so many barrels in your gun.  Mad that no one fixed it?  Send a PR.  Issues is not a customer service counter.<p>It&#x27;s not like project owners can&#x27;t still see &#x2F; search &#x2F; work on closed tasks. They could still maintain data elsewhere about tasks which didn&#x27;t get priority, or with a click or two see every stale issue that was closed..<p>I used to work on OSS health, and feel very strongly it&#x27;s much worse (for most projects) to have hundreds&#x2F;thousands of open issues stretching years.
