Stale issues should be verified against an up-to-date version of the software. If enough time has passed since the issue was first reported and nobody even bothers to check, that's proof enough of the issue being de facto stale and it does no good to engage in denial of this reality.
A lot of people have stale bot set to 1 month or less. Very few open source projects moves fast enough for 1 month to make any difference in replicability.
Minor releases may well be issued monthly, and even a minor release might independently fix a reported issue. Additionally, parent poster was not merely complaining about issues being closed too hastily; she was against stalebot as a matter of principle and clearly said so.
