+### Closing stale pull-requests
+
+Github Munger will close pull-requests that don't have human activity in the
+last 90 days. It will warn about this process 60 days before closing the
+pull-request, and warn again 30 days later. One way to prevent this from
+happening is to add the "keep-open" label on the pull-request.
+
+Feel free to re-open and maybe add the "keep-open" label if this happens to a
+valid pull-request. It may also be a good opportunity to get more attention by
+verifying that it is properly assigned and/or mention people that might be
+interested.

 ## PR builder
 
 We also run a robotic PR builder that attempts to run tests for each PR.
