I can take this one up if approved!

I think the idea
@ChrisLovering proposed is simple and enough.

IIRC the api doesn't allow filtering on the creation date, but we could fetch the active ones and treat them in memory.

The rest should be quite simple.

Idk if we already interact with the Github API or not, and whether this should be in Python Bot or in Bot-core, meaning idk if the Github interaction is something we want ( if we don't already have it) as a core feature

However, what I'm wondering about is the visibility.of this issue as I don't think we want to have a public issue that says X has been nominated, right?

You can use https://github.com/python-discord/bot/blob/main/bot/exts/recruitment/talentpool/_api.py#L34 to get a lsit of active nominations (if you set active=True) then you can look to see which are stale and then archive the votes.

We don't have generic helpers for interacting with the GitHub API as far as I know. We've got a few cogs that interact with GitHub though.

Yes that's the endpoint I was referring to.

And that's also what I meant by there isn't a way to get active nominations based on a certain date and thus, we treat them in memory.

Do you have an example in mind of these cogs? Otherwise I can look them up myself.

For the emoji, is the one you mentioned up for discussion? ( just curious to see if there's one that might fit better)
