[ci] use lee-dohm/no-response to close stale issues (fixes #5060)

[jameslamb]

Fixes #5060.

See #5060 for details...the bot that LightGBM currently uses to close stale issues (https://github.com/probot/no-response) was archived by its maintainer in July 2021. That maintainer recommends switching to https://github.com/lee-dohm/no-response.

This PR proposes that change.

Notes for Reviews

The proposed change would use GitHub Actions to handle this task.

LightGBM's existing solution for this, probot/no-response, is instead a GitHub App, which I think means it had to be enabled at https://github.com/microsoft/LightGBM/settings/installations.

If this PR is approved and merged, @shiyu1994 we'll need you to remove the no-response bot from the repo's settings. I don't have permission to do that.

Thanks for working on this! However, this action looks abandoned as well: last commit was 21 Oct 2021.

And our current no response bot was archived on on 13 Jul 2021:
probot/no-response@74cbc53

[jameslamb]

The one we currently use, probot/noresponse is explicitly archived, so I'm 100% confident it won't be receiving future updates and that it should be replaced.

I don't think lee-dohm/no-response not having a commit since October 2021 means it is "abandoned". That action is very simple, so I just don't think it requires much active development.

Consider the official "checkout" action, managed directly by GitHub: https://github.com/actions/checkout/commits/main. Even that very popular action, which is used across MANY repos (https://github.com/search?l=YAML&q=%22uses%3A+actions%2Fcheckout%22&type=Code), went 4 months (November 2021 to February 2022) without any commits.

Thanks for the investigation!
I just thought that it's possible to find a more actively developing and popular action (the proposed one has only 15 stars). But I haven't managed to find the alternative.

LGTM!

[jameslamb]

alright, let's see how it works!

@shiyu1994 can you please remove the no-response bot at https://github.com/microsoft/LightGBM/settings/installations?

[shiyu1994]

@jameslamb Seems that I don't have the permission to operate that either.

I did not see an uninstall button.
According to
https://github.community/t/how-to-remove-a-github-app/127567
It seems that we should operate from the organization side?

But I don't have the permission to change the settings of the organization.

It is weird that we cannot operate on this. Did I miss something?

[jameslamb]

Oh interesting! I'm not sure, maybe @guolinke will remember from when this was set up originally in #2843. I don't even have the access to see that list you've shared, so I'm just guessing at how this works 😬

[guolinke]

I cannot open the https://github.com/microsoft/LightGBM/settings/installations , @shiyu1994 it seems you didn't join your GitHub account to Microsoft organization, maybe you need to join to change the setting.
