Stale issue bot

[scagood]

It might be worth including a stale issues bot, we could use the stale action

something like .github/workflows/stale.yml:

name: 'Close stale issues'
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '30 1 * * *'

permissions:
  issues: write
  pull-requests: write

jobs:
  stale:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/stale@v8
        with:
          stale-issue-message: 'This issue is stale because it has been open 30 days with no activity. Remove stale label or comment or this will be closed in 5 days.'
          close-issue-message: 'This issue was closed because it has been stalled for 30 days with no activity.'
          days-before-stale: 30
          days-before-close: 5
          days-before-pr-close: -1 # Never close a PR

I think it's fine to close an issue if we need more information from the reporter and never get it, but if it's just something that we haven't gotten around to yet, then I'd want it to stay open. If there's any way to capture that nuance with a bot, then I'd be OK with it.
