Journaling as described in the description
Software organizations typically decide to close pull requests based on several factors:
Completion of review process: Once the code has been thoroughly reviewed, all comments addressed, and necessary changes implemented, the pull request can be closed by merging it[1].
Inactivity or lack of response: If a pull request remains idle for an extended period (e.g., a couple of weeks) without any response from the contributor, it may be closed[3].
Failed tests or continuous integration: If the changes break existing tests or fail to pass continuous integration, and the contributor is unable or unwilling to fix the issues, the pull request may be closed[3].
Out of scope or undesired changes: If the proposed changes are deemed out of scope for the project or undesirable, maintainers may close the pull request after explaining the reasons[3].
Project status changes: If a project is no longer actively maintained or has changed direction, maintainers may close open pull requests and communicate this decision in the project's README[3].
Quality concerns: If the proposed changes do not meet the project's quality standards and the contributor is unable to improve them, the pull request may be closed[3].
Discussions going off-track: If discussions on a pull request deviate significantly from the original intent or become unproductive, maintainers may close it to maintain focus[3].
To ensure a positive community experience, it's important for maintainers to communicate clearly about the reasons for closing pull requests and to provide guidance on how contributors can improve future submissions[3].

Could you explain more about this? And also, please follow the prompt structure as you can see on other plugins, thanks!
