• Is it normal practice in Github for a valid issue to be closed if the Dev can't work on it at the moment?

  In my own project we do it more transparent. We close if there is a good reason for it. We don't close just because no one is working on something. If there are no resources to work in it now but it seems important we keep it open until it is fixed. We do use milestones and priority labels to give the users an idea about our plans.

I'm going to be adding a new ZFS... Source: 10 months ago
