Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic
Source code available: GitHub
Function overview: Reports pages in the draftspace that have not been edited in over six months. The table produced allows you to sort by whether or not the draft is part of the AfC program, among other statistics. It will write to Wikipedia:Database reports/Stale drafts.
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Originally suggested as a bot task some years ago, and I'm sorry to say I have no idea where that discussion is :/ The move to WP:DBR was discussed at User talk:MusikBot/StaleDrafts/Report#Move to Wikipedia:Database reports (permalink).
Edit period(s): Daily, possibly upping to twice daily if the need arises
Estimated number of pages affected: 1
Namespace(s): Wikipedia
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): No (N/A)
Function details: This task has been running smoothly for over two years at User:MusikBot/StaleDrafts/Report. It is regularly checked by a few people (~25 pageviews a day), but in order to make it more discoverable, I'd like to move it to Wikipedia:Database reports, specifically Wikipedia:Database reports/Stale drafts. Occasionally someone will ask at WP:VPT or elsewhere about identifying old drafts, and maybe this will help them find it. No code changes are needed in order for this to happen, except changing what page the bot writes to.
Completely unrelated, I hope to start helping out here at BRFA soon... it's been a while! :)
