Option to ignore either PR's or Issues

[Safihre]

The cpython project runs the stale action to only mark PR's as stale.
However, due to the huge amount of PR's it never gets near to the newer PR's because it runs out of operations.
See: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/9151bbefea3fb932eb6aa6ddb22d64b83f8149c7/.github/workflows/stale.yml

The action could process many more PR's if the issues would not be checked at all, since no action is defined for them anyway.

Could there be a way to force the action to skip issues (or PR's, for someone that just wants to check issues)?

[Safihre]

I know, but that's not what this is about. It will not label them, but it will still process them at the cost of API actions.
I want to prevent it from even looking at issues, so it can look at more PR's.

This issue is stale because it has been open 30 days with no activity. Remove stale label or comment or this will be closed in 5 days

[Safihre]

No not stale. Just nobody cared to respond.

Duplicate of #792.

[Safihre]

Is it? That issue is not very clearly described as being the same problem. It might be, but then should be more clearly described.

[steveluscher]

Oh, I thought they were.

This issue:

However, due to the huge amount of PR's it never gets near to the newer PR's because it runs out of operations.

That issue:

The stale bot uses up all my API actions on iterating over existing stale commits and checking them for comments, and it never gets to apply the stale label to everything that needs it.

Aren't both of your issues about operation overhead in the processor preventing your repositories from being exhaustively processed before exhausting your operations budget?

[Safihre]

Yes, but for different underlying reasons. So a solution for one will most likely not resolve the other.

I am looking for the same configuration. I just want to scan PRs instead issues.

This seems to be related to #688

[kurtqq]

this is much needed one!
any chance it will be added in future version?

[testworksau]

I'd be keen to see this functionality too, in some repos I want issues to remain open forever, and PRs to be closed after they become stale.
