Do not lock closed issues on GitHub

[vtgn]

Is there an existing issue that is already proposing this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it

When we have problems, we searches inside the issues if someone already notified it. But when it is the case, most of the time the issues are old (ok), closed (ok), and locked (doh!!!), which prevents us from being able to ask for additional information, or to complete the issue by possible workarounds, particularly when no workaround is given or not enough clearly.

Describe the solution you'd like

Do not lock closed issues.

Teachability, documentation, adoption, migration strategy

None.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

It would be more practical to let the possibility to add new comments on the closed issues, even several years later, just to complete the discussion, ask for additional information, and propose new workarounds for the next readers having the same problem. It happens often to me, and it's very frustrating to see the issues closed without concrete workaround given. And when I find one, I would like to share it to give a solution to the next readers like me. Plus, it avoids the creation of new issues about the same problem, just because the previous one has given no solution.
