Current evaluation

Feature request to change Docker WORKDIR from /project to /workdir for convention consistency. Maintainer expressed skepticism; Dockerfile since removed from this repo and moved to snapcraft-rocks. No activity in ~2 years.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: The Dockerfile was removed from this repo in commit 24e70d6db (PR #5063) and moved to the snapcraft-rocks project, making this issue no longer actionable here. Maintainer tigarmo expressed skepticism ('I don't see much reason to change what we use currently'), and the current docker/README.md still uses /project as the mount point. No activity in ~2 years.

Issue body

`/workdir` is a more common default working directory. At least `whalebrew` project uses it as a standard. It would be nice if it `/workdir` is default working directory, and mount point for external files.
