Description

Sometimes a developer will open a release PR at the end of the day and leave it open overnight. This may make sense for them, but for developers in different time zones this can create a problem if they also want to create a release PR.

We should consider whether it makes sense to automatically close a release PR and delete the branch after 6 hours of inactivity.
