The other workflows are named as "Activate", "CI", "Assign". Not important, but something more compact like "Stale PRs" may look more consistent, and make things easier to find in the workflows list.

Not sure if it could be good that the message is a bit friendlier, instead of being straight to the point (I guess this is copied from the action documentation).

Like explaining why we close stale PRs, letting the user know that they can always ping us later if they need it reopen...

Good point, it does sound a bit blunt. I'll try to use softer wording; open to suggestions as well.
