Proposal: Add Github Actions workflow to auto-close stale issues #4560

Description

@Septa2112

Currently, WAMR does not have an automated workflow to close stale issues. This can lead to backlog of old and inactive issues, making it harder to manage the repository.

I would like to add a Github Actions workflow that automatically marks issues as stale after a certain period of inactivity (e.g., 60 days) and closes them if no further updates are made (e.g., after another 7 days).

Benefits

  • Keep the issue list focused on active and relevant topics
  • Reduces the manual workload for maintainers.
  • Encourages contributors to follow up on issues they care about.

Additional Notes

  • The time limits and exempted labels can be discussed.
  • This workflow would only target issues.

Possible implementation

We could use the actions/stale GitHub Action.
