Pull request overview
Updates the repository’s stale-management workflow to explicitly cover both issues and pull requests, and aligns the shared-config sync script to remove the deprecated stale workflow during sync.
Changes:
- Renamed and re-scoped the stale workflow to “stale issues and pull requests”, updating trigger paths and concurrency group.
- Removed stale PR label exemptions so stale pull requests are no longer kept open via exempt labels (including for bump PRs).
- Updated the shared-config sync script to sync the new workflow and delete the deprecated
.github/workflows/stale-issues.ymlin synced repositories.

exempt-issue-labelswas narrowed fromgsoc-outreachy,help wanted,in progressto justhelp wanted, which changes issue staleness behavior as well. The PR description only mentions dropping pull request label exemptions; if you didn’t intend to change issue exemptions, keep the prior list (or update the PR description to explicitly call out the issue-policy change).
