Hi MapServer PSC

MOTION:

To adopt the practice of automatically closing issues in the MapServer Github repository that have had no activity for more than one year.

And I start with my +1


Context:

This came up again at the Vienna Code Sprint today and there was general agreement to go ahead with this mass closing since tickets that have seen no activity in over a year are either invalid, no longer relevant, or lacking information or a champion to address them. If a ticket is automatically closed by the script but is still relevant then someone can reopen it and provide an update on its status.

Stephan Meissl and Thomas Bonfort have created a script to automatically execute this mass closing and tested it at the sprint last year. If this motion passes, this script would be run manually at regular interval every few months.
