I agree with Chesnay that we don't guarantee (quick) review of a PR at the project level. As ASF statement[1]:
> Please show some patience with the developers if your patch is not applied as fast as you'd like or a developer asks you to make changes to the patch. If you do not receive any feedback in a reasonable amount of time (say a week or two), feel free to send a follow-up e-mail to the developer list. Open Source developers are all volunteers, often doing the development in their spare time. However, an open source community shows its friendliness to contributors. Thus contributors believe their contribution would be take care of, even be rejected with a reason; project members are thought kind to provide help to the process. Just like this thread kicked off, it is glad to see that Flink community try best to help its contributors and committers, then take advantage of "open source". Best, tison.
