The lingering pull requests are just backlog. I know that the asfgit
user can automatically close PRs too, since it does in Spark. I
remember it can't close PRs opened against branches other than master
though, and neither can committers / administrators. In fact I don't
think anyone except asfgit can close a PR someone else opened, and it
will close things only on a merge.

I don't know the details of how this is set up -- are you already in
contact with INFRA? But I know some degree of automation is available.
