Hi Josep, Thanks for bringing this up. I agree that we should clean it up. I think that we should set up an automatic process to flag and then to close stale pull requests. For instance, we could use a github action [1] for this. I imagine that we could configure it to mark a pull request as stale after 60 days of inactivity and close it 30 days later if the author does not react.
