Description

We should build some automation to mark issues as stale, ping users, and perhaps auto-close things.

I think we can (and should) do this on the org-level with a solution like this: https://github.com/actions/stale/discussions/1089#discussioncomment-7239931, however, I would advocate we should just host this code ourselves in the community-tooling repo, since this involves the use of a custom fork of another popular action.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked actions/stale discussion and the community-tooling repository context. Define the required org-level behavior for marking issues stale, notifying users, and closing them, then determine how the custom fork would be hosted and maintained; done means the agreed automation is deployed and its behavior is verified.
