It's not really as much problem as it seems. For example, in the recent period proxy-maint's backlog didn't really go beyond 7 days, and we're rather capable of getting through it all. The large number of open PRs is mostly due to: a. PRs waiting for the submitter to update them (sadly, including some 'throwaway' submissions), b. PRs waiting for package maintainer to respond (sadly, we have many developers who ignore submissions on GitHub). Even then, ~200 open pull requests is a really small number given the size of Gentoo. You can easily find many projects having 1000-10000 open pull requests. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
