Grant Henke updated KAFKA-3630:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
Currently we don't have access to close pull requests and the list of open pull 
requests is growing. We are nearing 200 open pull requests and many are 
outdated. 

I am not sure if this is possible but I think a potential improvement would be 
to have a Jenkins job that runs periodically to:
1. Find all pull requests that have had no activity for 15 days
2. Comment on the pull requests that they were auto closed and should be 
re-opened if there is still interest
3. Close the pull requests

I don't think closing the outdated pull request will hurt project progress in 
anyway because:
- Jira still tracks the feature or fix
- The pull requests likely need a rebase or feedback needs to be address
- The notification will encourage the pull request owner and reviewers to 
follow up

As of today the break down of older pull requests is:
- [Older than 15 
days|https://github.com/apache/kafka/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+updated%3A%3C%3D2016-04-12+]:
 153
- [Older than 30 
days|https://github.com/apache/kafka/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+updated%3A%3C%3D2016-03-28]:
 107
- [Older than 60 
days|https://github.com/apache/kafka/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+updated%3A%3C%3D2016-02-28+]:
 73
- [Older than 90 
days|https://github.com/apache/kafka/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+updated%3A%3C%3D2016-01-28+]:

This jira is mainly to track discussion and ideas around this challenge. Please 
feel free to propose an alternate solution.
