+# Automatic Respoistory Maintenance
+
+The homepage team appreciates all effort and interest from the community in filing bug reports, creating feature requests, sharing ideas and helping other community members. That said, in an effort to keep the repository organized and managebale the project uses automatic handling of certain areas:
+
+- Issues that cannot be reproduced will be marked 'stale' after 7 days of inactivity and closed after 14 further days of inactivity.
+- Issues, pull requests and discussions that are closed will be locked after 30 days of inactivity.
+- Discussions with a marked answer will be automatically closed.
+- Discussions in the 'General' or 'Support' categories will be closed after 180 days of inactivity.
+- Feature requests that do not meet the following thresholds will be closed: 5 "up-votes" after 180 days of inactivity or 10 "up-votes" after 365 days.
+
+In all cases, threads can be re-opened by project maintainers and, of course, users can always create a new discussion for related concerns.
+Finally, remember that all information remains searchable and 'closed' feature requests can still serve as inspiration for new features.
+
+Thank you all for your contributions.
