Subject: [PATCH] github-actions: warn and auto-close issues & prs (#833)

* github-actions: warn and auto-close issues & prs

Support is given on a best-effort basis. In my experience, issues
quickly become irrelevant and even if help is finally provided
with some delay, the original author no longer comes back.

The same goes for pull requests that don't gain any traction. They
become outdated, although on a longer time scale.

To keep open issues and pull requests relevant, it's good practice
to close stale ones. GitHub actions provides a bot that does this
automatically, giving a warning first (marking the item as 'stale'),
and then automatically closes it later.

This change proposes to mark issues as stale after 60 days of
inactivity, and close them one week after, if no activity occurs.

Pull requests are marked as stale after 90 days without any
interaction, and automatically closed 30 days later in case of
inactivity.

* fix: 30 days after stale for pr
