Configs discussed in #28798:
daysUntilStale: 60daysUntilClose: 365To avoid too many stale notifications at once, use
skipCreatedBeforeconfig and update it as described in #28798 (comment)jasnell commentedon Aug 20, 2019
Initially, I would go with a longer stale period. Let's say 90 to 120 days.
trivikr commentedon Aug 20, 2019
The
daysUntilStalevalue of 60 was guessed from the comment from @bnoordhuis in #28798 (comment)The idea is post stale message every
daysUntilStaledays, till not activity (other than stale message) happens fordaysUntilClosedays - when issue/PR will be closed.We can update
daysUntilStaleto 90/120 if 60 is too low.bnoordhuis commentedon Aug 28, 2019
I'm still +1 on this.

I just got access to GitHub Actions Beta, and will experiment with it over the Labour Day weekend 😄

I couldn't play with GitHub Actions during Labour Day weekend, and friends planned another trip this weekend.
I'll keep this open for another week, if anyone else wants to experiment.

Update: GitHub stale action is pretty new, and will need some time to get stable.
For example, the support for exempt labels was added on Aug 27 in actions/stale#11

In Node.js core, we tried writing CI with GitHub Actions in #29193
But decided to wait till Actions goes stable in November as described in #29193 (comment)

I'm going to close this because I don't think there's support for it. But if someone thinks I'm wrong and wants to try to work something up, please re-open or leave a comment (or jump right to the open-a-pull-request option).
