Those bots drive me insane; it punishes the most helpful the most. I would much rather they leave it open. I often find myself digging around closed issues to find people with similar problems.

My favorite thing about stalebots: using the reaction emojis doesn't count (afaict) so me-tooing is encouraged.
Until some maintainer writes "Please stop replying with +1 etc, we know the issue. Use reaction emojis instead.". Bonus points if the issue also gets limited to contributors only.

Has anyone made a bot yet to automatically reply to stalebot so issues aren't closed?

stalebots serve a purpose but they can be extremely annoying also.
I literally have 10+ issues bookmarked on Github I have to keep responding on to prevent the stalebots from wiping the issue out.
They are all issues affecting my software, and I don't want them closed by a bot just because nobody has gotten around to fixing them.
Maybe I should just go in there and submit a PR, if only I could find the time.
