[vtk-developers] [RFC] Merge request spring cleaning

Hi,

We're up to 60+ open merge requests again. Pretty much anything after
the first page was opened at least 2 months ago (and I suspect this
would be true for pretty much any default page size). With the goal of
keeping things clearer, I'd like to propose the following:

  - end of each month, close MRs with no new activity (code, forward
    progression in a discussion, etc.) in the previous 2 months;
  - beginning of the month, message that there has been no activity in
    the past month and is slated for cleanup.

MRs closed this way would get a label of "stale", "old", or something
similar so that picking out MRs closed this way is easier (the label
would be removed when reopened or resolved as either merged or
unnecessary).

Thoughts?
