How to archive stale pull requests?

[pjcozzi]

There are several glTF spec/extension pull requests that are potentially good ideas but have lost momentum. They would benefit from someone picking them back up if they are a priority enough for someone to bring over the finish line.

How should we archive these PRs? For example:

• Just close them. They will still show up in searches.
• Assign the archive label (or whatever name we like) and keep them open.
• Assign the archive label and close them.

I’d suggest we close these issues. I don’t think the “archive” label has an obvious significance when applied to proposed extensions, but don’t have a better suggestion either. Maybe “needs support” or “needs owner”? In many of the issues above, unless wider interest solidifies, I think a vendor extension would be more appropriate than KHR.

Property animation might be the exception on the list for me; it seems almost inevitable that we’ll want to pick that one back up eventually. But starting a fresh PR would be fine there too if the current author prefers.

OK with me. Any other thoughts?

I don't think we need a label, just close them. Future users are more likely to search for a topic of interest rather than an archive label.

Seems like folks are OK with just closing them - works for me - will do as we review them, thanks!
