Spring Cleaning for GitHub

Spring is almost over, but it's not too late for us to do a bit of cleaning in our GitHub home.

We've been working hard on clearing our pull request queue.  We believe we're a few weeks away from being at a sustaining pace where all PRs get resolved in a week or so.  Hurrah!

Issues, however, are a different story.  There are 650+ issues with 5 to 10 arriving each day.  We've failed in all attempts in our imagination to think of a way to get on top of them.  Additionally, we believe that the majority of these issues are already addressed by PRs or are no longer valid for other reasons.

For this reason, we'll be declaring bankruptcy on the majority of these issues.  Next week, we'll be running a script to automatically:
  • Close issues older than 15 days that have no linked pull request.
  • Send an email to the issue reporter with an option to reopen if it is still an issue.
We've staffed up our attention on the issues queue and plan a similar turnaround time on all issues to move each of them to their next stage within a week or less.

Thanks for your continued help in making Angular great and we hope you enjoy the new clean house!
