+## Stalebot
+
+We have begun using a [Stalebot action](https://github.com/actions/stale) to help keep the Issues and Pull requests backlogs tidy. You can see the configuration [here](.github/workflows/stalebot.yml). If you'd like to keep an issue open after getting a stalebot warning, simply comment on it and it'll reset the clock.
