{repomountie} bot pings contractors on issues _after_ contracts are complete #193

A lot of bcgov teams use contractors for developing or co-developing code in bcgov GitHub (e.g., Code-With-Us and via other procurement methods). I have received verbal feedback from a vendors who is frustrated about getting notifications from {repomountie} long after completing work for bcgov. Dealing with these issues (notifications and closing issues) takes their time with is unpaid.

The issue is not resolved when the contractor is removed from the collaborator list, because {repomountie} appears to assign users from code contributors, in addition to from other sources (collaborators).

Definition of done {repomountie} does not assign users no longer responsible for maintaining the repo.

Its often hard for people to acknowledge that some things are just not that important and, unfortunately, some issues will never get done - like this issue for example; Its been stagnant for 90 days. For me, being a robot, I'm happy to face the facts and, as a result, I'm closing this issue.
