Feat: Automated Closure of Old Issues

[thevijayshankersharma]

Describe the feature

This feature entails implementing an automated system to close old issues within the project management platform. It aims to declutter the issue tracker by automatically closing issues that have remained unresolved or inactive for a specified period. The system will identify these old issues based on predefined criteria and initiate the closure process accordingly.

Describe the solution you'd like

I envision a system that periodically scans the issue tracker for issues that meet the criteria for closure, such as being inactive for a certain duration or lacking recent updates. Once identified, the system will automatically close these old issues, providing a notification to relevant stakeholders if necessary. Additionally, the system should allow for customization of closure criteria to accommodate the specific needs of different projects.

Describe alternatives you've considered

One alternative approach could be manual closure of old issues by project administrators or team members. However, this method is time-consuming and prone to oversight, especially in projects with large issue backlogs. Another option could be archiving old issues instead of closing them, preserving their historical record while removing them from the active issue tracker. However, this may still result in a cluttered and less manageable issue tracker over time.
