Slightly modified suggestion: Add a flag called "autostabilize" with [unset], [y], [n] Default is 'unset', and if found unset after a given time, it flips to y and the stable bot gets queued up. If its set to 'n', then stable bot never does anything. This way maintainers who want to rush the stablebot on things they consider "safe" can get ahead of the queue.
