Google-Adjacent OSS repos are the worst for this!

Passive-Aggressive Stalebot marches into the middle of an _active_ thread and announces that the issue is now stale/dead and everyone should go away.

I get that on large projects there’s a non-trivial percentage of issues which amount to “I’m holding it wrong, didn’t actually read the log messages, or the manual, fix it for me pls” which are just unhelpful noise. However more often than not they take every other thread- including important ones, with them.
