Hi Julian, I wouldn't agree. When you consider the sheer amount of unresolved PRs, I have a problem with adding another one to that list. All the more when I don't know that my PR is backed by a greater part of the community. Only the fact that I can handle send-pr and I find me somebody with commit-rights doesn't make my contribution worthy. Instead, I would encourage people to ask whether there is support for their issue. Of course, this doesn't apply to obvious bugs. On the other hand, I wish people would realize sooner when a topic has been enough talked about.
To summarize and put together your statement and mine: think before you act ;) Carsten Julian H.
