First, thank you for providing this such nice bot and keeping it as open source project.
I would like to ask a feature to support a list of names which are ignored by stalebot, so any comment from those users would be ignored when counting as inactivity for any PR.
Motivation
We have a bot which actually is a Github user. Github doesn't allow regular users to use brackets on their names, so we can't create a name like [bot]. As our bot usually comments about CI results, it resets stalebot counting. It's a problem for us, because sometimes a PR is close to be staled and a bot comment resets all counting and masks stalebot execution.
We understand only regular users should reset stalebot counting, not that bot, which doesn't affect any PR flow.
Proposal
Introduces a new list entry in stale.yml which filters user names. If a user in that list, comment in a PR, stalebot won't count it as a modification.
