I get you. I'm a maintainer as well. But I'm not even talking about "long resolved" issues. Last week I saw an issue created by the maintainer themselves to talk about some upcoming milestone or something, that got autolocked before the milestone got there.

Yes, it's just misconfiguration, but when you're configuring these tools you're never thinking about the damage the autolocks do to your project if you're not very careful with the settings. Remember, the people just get turned off from contributing. They don't stick around to give feedback on this being the root cause.

Hell, I never did, and I'm very vocal about autolocking being toxic.
