Re: WCAG 2.x backlog meeting this Friday: usual agenda (with links to top drafted issues/PRs)

I took on some of the unanswered questions in discussion, then noticing 
how old some of these are. Will the people who asked them still be 
expecting an answer a year later? Should there be some protocol to 
auto-close stale discussions, possibly with an (unfriendly, but better 
than nothing) generated answer, something like:

"Your question was not answered for [n] months. This could be because no 
one had a good answer or because the question was phrased in a way that 
it was difficult to understand. We are now closing this discussion. 
Please consider rephrasing your question and re-open the discussion if 
you think it is still relevant."
