Stale bot for RFCs #483

Closed metagn closed 1 year ago

metagn commented 2 years ago

There are many RFCs in this repo that are old or need to be rewritten for present Nim. Some of them get implemented too but don't get closed, for example {.requiresInit.} should close #63.

A repo for RFCs should be vetted as much as possible for potential contributors and even just users of the language to go through. It shouldn't be just a dump of discussion.

@metagn One option is to use https://github.com/actions/stale in a scheduled GitHub workflow (e.g. .github/workflows/stale.yml), with days-before-stale and days-before-close set appropriately (I presume they'd be set to relatively long values)

There is a stale bot on the main repo for PRs but I'm not sure if it's that one. It attaches a stale label and gives a warning, if anyone responds to the warning it removes the stale label, otherwise after a while it closes it. This behavior seems fitting here as well.

For the sake of this being actionable I propose a stale warning time of 1 year. Then close after a week or a month of no one responding to the warning.
