Sandhya Adavikolanu (@Sandhya1236) this will close issues as well. I think we'd need days-before-issue-close: -1 to prevent that.

Koen Kooi (@koenkooi) some background: Jason has been asking QLI repos to close stale PRs, so Sandhya has been opening PRs for all repos.

However, OSTT are good at staying on to of PRs :), so feel free to adjust this/close as needed

I agree that some form of auto-closing is OK, but issues don't go away by themselves, so I'd prefer both to be "-1" for this repo.
