Close stale issues and pull requests

[kenhys]

Check CONTRIBUTING guideline first and here is the list to help us investigate the problem.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

There are many stale issues and some pull requests, it is better to keep up-to-date or close non-active ones
to maintain project tasks continuously.

Describe the solution you'd like

Use the "stale" GitHub bot application.
The "stale" GitHub bot application is: "Automatically close stale Issues and Pull Requests that tend to accumulate during a project."

It meets to keep the issues up-to-date or can close non-active ones.

https://probot.github.io/apps/stale/

Then,

• Install GitHub application (need to be done by project owner) via https://github.com/apps/stale/installations/new
• Put .github/stale.yml something like:

# Number of days of inactivity before an issue becomes stale
daysUntilStale: 90
# Number of days of inactivity before a stale issue is closed
daysUntilClose: 30
# Issues with these labels will never be considered stale
exemptLabels:
  - bug
  - enhancement
  - feature request
  - pending
  - work_in_progress
# Label to use when marking an issue as stale
staleLabel: stale
# Comment to post when marking an issue as stale. Set to `false` to disable
markComment: >
  This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had
  recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you
  for your contributions.
# Comment to post when closing a stale issue. Set to `false` to disable
closeComment: true
