Improve stale bot to check the reactions added to the stale bot comments before closing an issue
📝 Provide a description of the improvement
Currently, stale bot takes into account the following dates to decide whether the stale issue (or pull request) is not stale anymore:
- the creation date,
- the last date of editing an issue or pull request,
- the last date of adding a reaction to the body of issue or pull request,
- the last date of adding or editing a comment,
- the last date of changing a label.
It would be nice to take into account also the last date of adding a reaction to the bot's comments.
Adding a reaction to the bot's comment should unstale the issue (or pull request).
If you'd like to see this improvement implemented, add a 👍 reaction to this post.
