Auto-lock closed issues after a few months of inactivity?

[ephys]

We often have people post comments in issues that have been closed for years. This bypasses the issue template, so we don't receive a lot of the important information, and the issue is usually not related due to the codebase having changed massively since then.

Should we auto-lock closed issues if they don't receive any activity for a few months? Maybe 3 months? 6 months?

GitHub action we can use: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/lock-threads

Meeting 2024-03-22:

• One issue with this is that some issues that were closed in v7 are closed but are not closed in v6
• We do want to auto-lock after 3 months, but we'll implement this once v6 is EOL
• Bots such as the release notify will still be able to post, but they are not active on v7 currently and they cause a lot of notifications to maintainers

please ignore this is a test to make sure members are still allowed to post so the Sequelize bot can post about releases
