   What's the rationale behind adding this set of exempt labels? (I don't think this was well explored in the linked thread.) I think it's likely that at least one of these labels would be set by a committer on pretty much every issue and PR they touch (especially the "Area" labels but also ones like "Improvement"), which IMO defeats the purpose of the stalebot for PRs. I don't think we really want a PR to stay open forever just because someone gave it an "Area" label, but then in the end it lost momentum.
   
   If the idea is to keep _issues_ open forever with these labels (i.e. keep properly categorized issues open forever) then it would be better to exempt these labels for issues only (not PRs).
   
   The closing timeout changes (to 4 weeks) sound good to me.
   
   The committer-instructions changes look good too -- thanks.
