Hi Rui,
Looks good. I ran:
https://github.com/apache/flink/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+This+PR+is+being+marked+as+stale+since+it+has+not+had+any+activity+in+the+last+180+days.

And there are 610 open PRs. I am wondering how we get the stale label onto 
those PRs. Some thoughts

  1.  We write batch script using the github API to make these changes under a 
user that have authority to create labels.
  2.  Rerun the stale bot with changes – so it loses its history somehow and 
then it will reprocess everything adding the stale label.
  3.  Remove the cache from the git action.

3)Looks like a good option – WDYT? Could some with write access remove the 
cache for the stale git action  when it is not running?

Kind regards, David.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Stale PR Action running but the labels are missing
It seems the stale label works for now. 124 PRs[1] were labeled as 'stale'
in the fourth batch[2].
