> One of the most corrosive things I have seen in FOSS development is the phenomenon of "stale bots". These are scripts that automatically close issues, and sometimes pull requests, after a certain amount of inactivity. The intention here is to provide clarity and close off things considered no longer relevant. But this is really just corporatising your project. It's the equivalent of a clean desk policy, where everything has to be tidied away or thrown in the rubbish regardless of any context or usefulness.
