ci: stop the stale bot from closing relevant issues - #936
Merged
Conversation
days-before-stale was 7, so any discussion thread got nagged after a week. exempt-issue-labels pointed at a 'Postpone' label that did not exist in the repo, so nothing was ever exempt, and PRs had no exemption list at all.

Prompted by #21, which has been marked stale three times and rescued three times by a contributor replying "This issue is still relevant."
Three problems in
.github/workflows/stale-issues.yml:days-before-stale: 7— a week of quiet is normal for a spec/provider registry. Bumped to 60.exempt-issue-labels: 'Postpone'referenced a label that did not exist in this repo, so the exemption was dead config. I created thePostponelabel and applied it to Why no "audio" type? #21.exempt-pr-labels, so provider-submission PRs waiting on maintainer review were staled by the same rules.Also added
