            <ul>
              <li>It has been inactive for the past 6 months.</li>
              <li>It hasn’t been labeled `[Pri] BLOCKER`, `[Pri] High`, `[Type] Feature Request`, `[Type] Enhancement`, `[Type] Janitorial`, `Good For Community`, `[Type] Good First Bug`, etc.</li>
            </ul>

            reproduction steps and it is still reproducible. Feel free to close this issue
            if you think it's not valid anymore — if you do, please add a brief
            explanation.</p>
