Potential entries based on up-for-grabber tool

[SeanKilleen]

(Following up on #1028 now that I've built out a tool.)

Hey all -- I built a tool that can surface potential projects across an org for up-for-grabber.

I did this for the microsoft org and looked for Repos that had 25+ issues with up-for-grabs style labels where the most recent occurrence was < 90 days ago.

What I found:

* `microsoft/terminal` has 47925 stars. It has 523 open issues, 156 of which exist across 1 up-for-grabs style labels. The most recent up-for-grabs issue was on 2019-06-30T21:51:49.0000000+00:00, 0 days ago.
* `microsoft/azure-pipelines-image-generation` has 444 stars. It has 158 open issues, 61 of which exist across 1 up-for-grabs style labels. The most recent up-for-grabs issue was on 2019-06-27T20:08:56.0000000+00:00, 3 days ago.

My question for the maintainers is on how to proceed. Should I:

• Submit these PRs for repos that don't currently exist in up-for-grabs?
• Or should I ask the maintainers of those repos to consider adding it, by filing an issue etc.?

/cc @ritwik12 since they'd responded positively to #1028.

Hey @SeanKilleen, Thanks for this. That's good work and pretty nice results you are getting. My opinion is that you can submit PRs for the repos which are owned by organizations who are not owned by a single person or small group and are for everyone. Such as: Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, Apache, or any big Open source organizations.

But I will prefer creating an issue for the repos that are owned by individuals or small group of people as they might not want their repo at up-for-grabs and I think it will not be good to spam or hurt anyone.

@shiftkey can add more insights on this to help better.

[SeanKilleen]

@ritwik12 @shiftkey any insights on this? It was marked stale but I'm happy to submit these items above based on the tool I created. Per @ritwik12's recommendation I'm happy to submit just the org-based items.

@SeanKilleen i still haven't really thought about this. Give me a couple of days to catch up.

The stale bot wasn't meant to touch issues, but instead kicked off it's default behaviour - see #1561 for context.

👍 No worries and no rush. I want to support the project but only if the tooling is valuable and doesn't add more noise than signal.
