I think a private github is a better place for soemthing which gets
no attention for so long.
personally i'd like to make sure patches do get attention, and
having old ones is cluttering.
Don't gerrit drafts suffice for personal WIP branches?
I like openstack auto-abandon approach. i think a patch with no
activity for more than 30 days should be auto abandoned. its trivial
to get it back to life after that (openstack are much harsher than
this actually)
As long as the user is notified I agree. A 30 day old patch is likely to
no longer cleanly apply anyway so a rebase may be needed anyway.
