From 44fe56a93a236d31895296ac0ac3f9125a491b7d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rijk van Wel Date: Thu, 3 May 2018 10:55:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Update stalebot's messaging and timeframes This is an update inspired by the discussion in #1126, attempting to better communicate the reasoning behind the stalebot. Also, I've adjusted the closing timeframe (as opposed to the stale timeframe), because closing feels more harsh than the marking as stale, and is harder for a community member to reverse.
