On the DBAL repository, we let a bot close stale pull requests. This has worked very well for us because it reminds authors and reviewers that a PR might need attention. Closed stale PRs can be taken over by another contributor who might want to finish the work. Contributors can browse the list of open PRs to see what's actually being worked on.
Merging this PR will make the bot bump A LOT of PRs that can already be considered stale. This will cause some noise for everyone, but after that, we will end up with a way smaller list of open PRs.
