Hi,

Previous discussion:

* [DISCUSS] How to handle stale PRs [1]
* [DISCUSS] Add icebox label for issues and PRs that have been inactive for
more than 4 weeks [2]

I notice that over 80% (1527/1891 ATM) issues are marked as stable but
nothing happens later. In an offline discussion with @codelipenghui I
learned that we ever wanted to focus on non-stable issues to handle more
inputs but it seems now we don't achieve this goal.

Refrain my comment in [1] that:

> From my experience, any process won't work. The only way is to inspire
more
reviewers act on PRs.
> Instead of talking about how to do it, reviewing one PR now can help the
case.
> Also, it's reasonable to close inactive PR if there is a successor. But do
not let a bot do it, which will create many corner (bad) cases.

I observe that those stale comments like a spammer in some thread[3][4] and
IIRC some audiences reacted with negative emoji to those comments.

Thus, I'd like to know whether you gain some value from the stale bot.

To me, it seems a potential spammer, frustration maker, and resource
consumer (we run a workflow to label them, and even tried to optimize its
resource occupation[5]).

Best,
tison.
