Why not? It's
a bot that does the work and I am pretty sure it could add [stale] to the
summary.

I disagree because
due to this I might now miss an important bug that needs e.g. an approval.

Hi Andrey,

I'm doing these "mark as stale" bug cleanup since a while and
this
work has almost reached it end. Changing the title of the bug is to my
knowledge not possible.

We are in a RC freeze phase currently so I figured now is a good time.

But a good idea to announce it upfront, I plan to do this the next time.

Good news is that these mass changes will become less and less over
time as our stalebug boot will cleanup the rest.

Best regards, Lars
