mark-stale-issue.yaml

# This workflow utilises an existing implementation (https://github.com/actions/stale) that performs the following actions:
#   1) Adds "stale" label to issues that have "stat:awaiting-response" for more than 30 days meaning that since we don't have enough information we may potentially close such issue
#   2) Closes issues that have been marked as "stale" for more than 30 days

# This affects only Issues but at some point we may also consider rules for PRs
