I had a very similar experience when opening an issue on the nodejs-addon-api repo ​:gura_kekw:​ https://github.com/nodejs/node-addon-api/issues/1213 After 3 automatic stale marks, the maintainer marked it with the "never-stale" label. I opened the issue in 2022, and the issue was resolved in 2024. RE: https://social.treehouse.systems/users/whitequark/statuses/116190701753012324
