As per CNCF assessment criteria, we need to monitor stale issues. WDYT? If it looks good to you I would like to raise a PR.

I don't see a benefit (to auto-closing) myself. Like in most open source projects, an issue not being worked on does not mean it's not valid issue....

@jku The functionality works as follows:

  • It comments on an issue after a specific period (e.g., one month) if there is no activity(comments or Pull request).
  • If there's still no activity, it closes the issue after 15 days (modifiable) of reminder.

Benefits:

  • Acts as a reminder for authors or maintainers about forgotten issues.
  • Revisiting issues after a month may spark new implementation ideas as the project progresses.
  • It will Encourages discussion for solutions upon receiving reminders.

This idea I have behind this enhancement, WDYT?
