+            This pull request has not had any activity in 30 days. If it has been abandoned
+            no future actions are necessary, it will be automatically closed. If this is a PR
+            with no clear plan on how to move forward on it getting into the project, then
+            further discussion is needed. Now is a good time to discuss if this is still
+            something that should be worked on. If this PR is idle simply because nobody
+            has reviewed it, then feel free to ping somebody. However, if this PR is not linked to an
+            existing issue regarding something that was previously determined to be important, then even
+            more discussion needs to take place before it can get anywhere.
+            This PR will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions!
