+          Hello! :wave: 
+
+          This issue has been automatically marked as stale due to inactivity :sleeping:
+
+          It will be closed in 180 days if no further activity occurs. To keep it active, please add a comment with more details.
+
+          There can be many reasons why a specific issue has no activity. The most probable cause is a lack of time, not a lack of interest.
+
+          Let us figure out together how to push this issue forward. Connect with us through our slack channel : https://json-schema.org/slack

+          Thank you for your patience :heart:
