Hi, @stv0g, thanks for creating this issue. To move this forward and eventually close the issue we can: 1. Identify Stale Branches

• We can use this list of stale branches. These are the branches with >3 months without a commit. Or we could may be use our own more relaxed definition of stale, e.g., 1 year without a commit.

2. Assign Ownership

• Assign each stale branch to its creator.

  3. Set a Response Deadline

• Give creators 1 month to confirm if their branch is needed or can be deleted.

4. Delete Unclaimed Branches

• Delete branches with no response after the deadline.

what do you think?
