Yeah, they will just be closed, not deleted and my thought was to start 
pretty lax.

Don't touch them until 6 months of inactively and then another month of 
inactively in this "stale" state before closing. We can revisit this later.

No need to host it anywhere. It is a GitHub App.

I installed it on a personal repository, just a couple clicks!

Need to be "an organization owner or have admin permissions in a 
repository to install a GitHub App".  Will then need a .github/stale.yml
