A Github issue for OpenZFS I was following for a year was recently closed via stale bot. I just assumed the feature was dead, however on Twitter (yesterday) they announced the feature's author was giving a talk about implementing it, so I guess it's back on!
I personally wish issues weren't auto-closed as it can give the wrong (i.e. feature is dead) impression, however I know popular OSS maintainers get a TON of issue requests and are doing a work of love.
So, thank you OSS maintainers, you the real MVP.
P.S. For those interested, the issue[1] is NVMe performance for OpenZFS[2]
