<br>
I see the the gardening started also on stale reviews.<br>
I think it should be opt-in, only for projects which request it.<br>
If that's the case already, please skip the rest (or read it anyway, it may be<br>
relevant if the policy changed).<br>
<br>
We have projects which are, let's say, sleepy, were reviews are not taken into<br>
account. You may say that, if some project is stale, it should go along its<br>
fate and be archive.<br>
I don't fully agree with that. As the KDE developer status allows access to<br>
each and every repository, a project may get some renewed interest at some<br>
point, and we have had several examples of this in the past.<br>
<br>
Now, I believe that automatically closing code contributions (which are<br>
slightly different beasts than bugs) can accelarate the process of making a<br>
project look obsolete, rather than helping them to be back. Having the reviews<br>
around may be a way for new contributors as start with a certain projects (by<br>
rechecking them and merging). It's true that the reviews are still there, just<br>
closed, but it's not the same in terms of visibility.<br>
<br>
Ciao<br>
