Update stalebot's messaging and timeframes (#2761)
This is an update inspired by the discussion in #1126, attempting to better communicate the reasoning behind the stalebot. Also, I've adjusted the closing timeframe (as opposed to the stale timeframe), because closing feels more harsh than the marking as stale, and is harder for a community member to reverse. Suggestions/changes welcome of course!

Thank you for your contributions.

There has been no activity in this thread for 90 days. While we care about
18+
every issue and we’d love to see this fixed, the core team’s time is
19+
limited so we have to focus our attention on the issues that are most
20+
pressing. Therefore, we will likely not be able to get to this one.
21+
22+
23+
However, PRs for this issue will of course be accepted and welcome!

If there is no more activity in the next 90 days, this issue will be closed
27+
automatically for housekeeping. To prevent this, simply leave a reply here.

Thanks!
