Locking Resolved Issues/PRs #62623
Description
Acknowledgement
- I acknowledge that issues using this template may be closed without further explanation at the maintainer's discretion.
Comment
You may have noticed more locked issues around the repo. The primary reason for this is that we're seeing that most comments on very old and inactive closed issues/PRs tend to fall in certain categories:
- Users asking unrelated questions; old issues are not a good place to do this. We would prefer they go through the standard triage flow from the beginning
- Users who are trying to report a regression; these comments typically lack enough information to reproduce the repro, and it's easy for comments like this to accidently go unaddressed. We need all the information from the standard bug form in order to be able to act on these reports.
- Spam
For transparency, the new rules are:
- Closed Bugs and Closed/Merged PRs are locked after 6 months of inactivity. This is enough time for a PR to make it into an official release and gather reasonably-timely feedback
- Questions, Duplicates, and Working as Intended are locked after 2 months of inactivity. Would-be comments here should go back through the primary triage flow in the form of a new issue, or be posted in the linked duplicate issue
As always, feel free to log a new issue if needed. Thanks!
