Create stale bot using Github Actions

[demilolu]

Background

To manage our backlog we need to figure out what issues are stale and what we still want to work on.

Learn more about Github actions for stale https://github.com/actions/stale

Solution

Use a Github action using the stale action to alert maintainers to issues and PRs that have been sitting idle for a while. The staleness is reset if somebody comments on the issue. This forces the team to address outstanding issues and PRs.

Default configuration:

• Add a label "Stale" on issues and pull requests after 60 days of inactivity
• Close the stale issues (labeled 'stale') and pull requests after 7 days of inactivity
• If an update/comment occur on stale issues or pull requests, the stale label will be removed and the timer will restart

Tasks

• Use this stalebot bot an example
• Read about Github Actions
• Create Github Action, title the yml filegreetings.yml
• Test Github Action

Acceptance criteria

• Github action is present in ./github/workflows folder in Truth-Loop repo.
• file is named stale.yml
• the bot message is contains that it is stale and mentions how long til the issues/PR is closed as in the example here.
