Looks like here it is some technical glitch .. :-/
I'm not 100% sure how it is here with current default git settings but
looks like package maintainers have not enabled watch settings on git repos
which they own or to which they have RW access.
If it is true I think that repo watch should be *by default enabled for all
main and secondary maintainers* and it would be good if someone will
execute some oneliner to enable such watches on all git repos on all git
accounts with RW access to exact git repo.
Lack of enabled watches seems is only reasons why some git PRs are not
handled by package maintainers ASAP.

Just check do you have enabled watch on your package git repo (web page
upper right corner -> small icon with eye -> Watch issues, PRs, and
Commits).

Another part of default settings should be what is in bugzilla.
IMO any changes about git repos maintainers should be AUTOMATICALLY
propagated to bugzilla as well.

I think that it would be good introduce policy stripping down RW git repo
access if someone will have disabled watch for some period (half year?)
and/or if email address registered in FAS settings will be rejecting send
email for some period of time (half year and/or +10 rejects?).
I have impression that many FAS accounts are already dead. Every 2-3 months
is done all packages mass rebuild so within half year will be at least 2-3
opportunities to check email communication with every package maintainer
which have RW access to +1 git repo.
Performing such check about disabled watch enough long time or not updated
email address one time a week and publishing list of repos which could be
taken over by other active maintainers could allow keep as much as possible
packages in healthy state.
