I tag all new issues that come as “Feature Request”, “Bug”, etc. and then as far as I’m concerned, unless I’m interested in the issue, my work is done.

Those then serve as an excellent roadmap for anyone who wants to contribute, but my projects are built for me and I work on the parts I want and need.

I also use GH automation to auto-close issues after a year. If no one cares enough to implement the change in a year, no one cares.

Your project is yours, feel free to ignore everyone else.

I also highly recommend watching this talk by Pieter Hintjens a couple of times. It is brilliant https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uzxcILudFWM

I would be careful about auto-closing issues after a year. It's quite possible that some issues are genuine but for various reasons (time required, difficulty of the problem, etc...) people might not do anything about it right away. You can check the feature requests or bugs databases for large projects like Firefox or WebKit for example and find plenty of entries that are several years old yet those entries often still have comments being made which shows that at least some people care about them.
