Subject: [PATCH] [chore] Accelerate process of marking issues as stale
 (#15994)

This PR temporarily shortens the time between an issue being marked stale and closed to 60 days to expedite closing out the very old issues in the backlog. This should close out the oldest issues roughly by the start of next year. Issues that are determined to still be relevant after this period can be reopened. After the current backlog of stale issues is processed, we can restore the 120 day period between being marked stale and being closed.
