Seen this several times recently: User1 opens an issue, User2 confirms it's an issue, User3 later asks about progress... and then it's stale-bot time, time to just close it as "wontfix". There may be other discussion in between, vague unspecific comments from a dev, attempted pull requests by users that are also ignored, some barely-related drama sometimes; but in the end any long-tail issue - even precise, clearly articulated ones - falls victim to the ineffable stale-bot in these projects. #github #rant
