Oh, sorry, I did not even check what the PR was about nor its |
| 44 |
uptime. It should definitely read as "get the PR merged" then. |

6 months is when bugs started to be filled which by most standards a |
| 47 |
package not fixed within that time can be considered dead/unmaintained. |
| 48 |
I usually take no response for a couple of months as a green light to |
| 49 |
do it myself. |
