+  Hey there!
+
+  This issue will be automatically closed in 7 days if there would be no activity. We therefore assume that the user has lost interest or resolved the problem on their own.
+
+  Don't worry though; if this is an error, let us know with a comment and we'll be happy to reopen the issue.
+
+  Thanks!
