+          To help us keep things tidy and focus on the active tasks, we've introduced a stale bot to spot
+          issues/PRs that haven't had any activity in a while.
+
+          This particular issue hasn't had any updates or activity in the past 90 days, so it's been labeled
+          as 'stale'. If it remains inactive for the next 30 days, it'll be automatically closed.
+
+          We understand everyone's busy, but if this issue is still important to you, please feel free to add
+          a comment or make an update to keep it active. 
+
+          Thanks for your understanding and cooperation!
