Do we want to exempt issues with a draft PR request? We would want to close off the PR before we marked an issue as stale?

Does the actions/stale action create the stale label because that isn't a label in this repo right now.

I'm using 365 days just to close old ones that are probably not even needed or already solved, we shouldn't worry about the first issue.
Mmm second one, yes, it is supposed to work as a plug and play
