It's not really as much problem as it seems. For example, in the recent |
| 7 |
period proxy-maint's backlog didn't really go beyond 7 days, and we're |
| 8 |
rather capable of getting through it all. |

The large number of open PRs is mostly due to: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
a. PRs waiting for the submitter to update them (sadly, including some |
| 13 |
'throwaway' submissions), |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
b. PRs waiting for package maintainer to respond (sadly, we have many |
| 16 |
developers who ignore submissions on GitHub). |

|

Even then, ~200 open pull requests is a really small number given |
| 19 |
the size of Gentoo. You can easily find many projects having 1000-10000 |
| 20 |
open pull requests. |
