-------------------------------------
Summary: Reduce Stale PR Action timeouts
Key: FLINK-37533
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-37533
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Thomas Cooper
[FLINK-37026|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-37026] enabled the
Stale PR GitHub Action and this has been running successfully for several
months, [labelling PRs older than 6 months as
"stale"|https://github.com/apache/flink/labels/stale].
The initial time-outs for the Stale PR action were 6 months inactive with 3
further months of no action before closing. This was done to give time for PR
authors to react to the new action. However, during the
[discussion|https://lists.apache.org/thread/6yoclzmvymxors8vlpt4nn9r7t3stcsz]
it was suggested that 3 months inactive with 1 month to respond was the typical
configuration used on other Apache projects and should also be used for Flink.
It was decided to start with longer time-outs and move to the standard ones
once the stability of the action was confirmed.
Now that the action has been running for some time with no issues, we should
reduce the time-outs to the proposed Apache standard configuration. This will
allow us to start clearing the oldest stale PRs.
