Currently it's not clear if PRs up for adoption should be closed or left opened until they are adopted. Both cases have happened.
I propose to change it to close by default, open a tracking issue, and claim the issue when you are working on it.
Closing Controversies
I propose to review X-Controversials after 6 months of inactivity: after such a delay, we should be able either to tell if nobody cares about it anymore (then close it), or take a final decision instead of leaving it hanging.
Helping Finishing PRs
I propose a new status S-Needs-Help to mark PRs that could use help to resolve conflicts, pass CI and so on. Working on this PRs either with the original author or one of the maintainers to add commits and get it merged.
