I updated PA Robot to close inactive project applications (in the "needs work" status) after 4 weeks instead of 10 weeks. That way applicants get feedback earlier that the application is blocked on their part in case they forgot to update the status.
Let me know if that causes any issues I have not thought of.

I have seen that there are no issues in the queue more than 4 weeks and I think 2 weeks is more than enough time to close the inactive issues.
I would recommend to close the inactive issues after 2 weeks. What do you reckon here ?

Four weeks instead of ten is
Four weeks instead of ten is a sixty per cent reduction.
I'd say leave it at that and see if it makes a difference before we start dropping it to two weeks.

Great one +1
Will encourage more developers, i have a lots of friends would be glad if they know that it will only take 4 weeks for them to get approved.
This 4 weeks is not about
This 4 weeks is not about approving time, but about the time of idleness of developer response from 'Needs work' status of application to status 'Closed'.
