The CLA action is designed to automatically lock a PR when it is closed. This preserves the CLA agreement statements, preventing the contributor from deleting them after the fact. However, this action is currently locking PRs that are closed without merging. I'd like to keep such PRs open so the contributor can respond with additional comments. I'm currently manually unlocking PRs that I close, but I'd like to eliminate this manual step.
