This file add the configuration needed for stale issues and pull requests
to be automatically closed. Defined as follows:
- issues and pull requests with no activity for 270 days will be marked as "status: stale";
- after that, there will be a period of 90 days for the issue or pull request to be claimed, otherwise will be closed.
The bot will never interact/close with issues and pull requests marked as:
- status: vetify
- status: accepted
- target: security
- type: discussion
For this setup to be effective, add https://probot.github.io/apps/stale/
to BigBlueButton repository.
