Description
Purpose:
Close "triaged" language server bugs that are marked as low priority.
How:
- Have bot go through "triaged" bugs and close the ones that are 1 or more years old and with less than 10 up-votes and are tagged as "Low Priority".
- Message for closing: "This issue has been closed as lower priority. This issue can either be re-opened if the number of up-votes increases or is re-opened by the severity of the issue."
- Tag for closing: "Closed - Lower Priority"
- Have bot go through "Closed - Lower Priority" issues to re-open issues if up-votes changes to 10+.

Research direction
The issue names no implementation files, tests, or entry points; start by locating any existing issue-management bot or GitHub automation in the repository. Confirm how the triaged and Low Priority labels, up-votes, close/re-open actions, and closing message map to the available automation, with both age-based closing and vote-based reopening covered when done.
