- Review 12+ months old bug issues: try reproducing a bug to verify that it is still present. Let us know how it goes.
- Review your open PRs: are you intending on finishing them? If yes, please let us know by leaving a comment. If not, close them. 2/2

Here are a few ways to partake in #Closember and help @numpy_team:
- Review all the issues opened by you: are they still relevant? If not, close them. If yes, leave a comment with an update. If you found a workaround, share it with the community in a comment to the issue. 1/2

Check out this long but worth-to-read 🧵 about #closember. It's not just about thoughtlessly auto-close issues, but making actual steps toward sustainability and maintainer well-being. I'll try to do my share focusing on the ones I opened, and triage them away. Starting: 19 & 467
