Perhaps role assignment could be of any help? I'm not trying to be a jerk, but surely I'm coming off that way. Again, nobody is obligated to accept any assignment. They have to volunteer to do it. The only person that The Big Lebowski can influence here is himself. Thus, are you volunteering for this role? It's not my call, but if you really want to do clean out and triage the all PRs on an ongoing basis, my guess is that would be very welcome and we'd figure out a way to set that up. It would definitely help, especially for those maintainer that "approve" patches but the PRs never get opened (or set to a better state than "open"). At some point we'll have a new PR system, that fact might be having an impact on current PRs as well... John
