I think one month time period is short since people typically contribute in their spare time. I have seen PRs being worked on with breaks of more than a month and I have gone back to PRs with that gap as well. Three months would be ideal.
How would this be enforced? Would committers do this ad-hoc, whenever they see some old PRs? Also, this may not be a problem right now and we may go with more relaxed timelines (like 1 year) as there are other projects that have hundreds of outstanding PRs. If the PR is open at least someone else can take it from there, if the original contributor is no longer active on it.
