Close stale issues and PRs #609

Workflow file for this run

# The purpose of this job is to close stale issues and pull requests when
# there has been no activity on them at all for some period of time. First,
# a warning is given that the issue will be closed. If noone reacts, then
# the issue will be automatically closed.
#
# The motivations behind this is the idea that each open issue has a maintenance
# cost. Even if nothing happens, every now and then open issues are browsed to
# see if something can be done. If there are a lot of open issues, looking through
# them obviously costs more time and brainpower. Closing them automatically after
# some time will weed out issues that have hardely any chance (if at all) of getting done.
