I agree fully. How to implement this? IMHO, shared responsibility do not
work well for this kind of task. We had the same issue with plugin
management, with too many falling into cracks.
I believe we need a PR manager, who gives the initial feedback and
forward each PR to the most appropriate dev, or back to the proposer.
This boils down, as for other unsexy tasks, to how to motivate people.
Until now several people had taken one or more of them as a volunteer
work. Now we have some proposal to trade this kind of things with an
explicit sponsorship level. Other proposals will be most welcome.
In any case, it is clear that providing adequate motivation and
incentives is vital to the project, I'm not sure volunteering can last
forever and it can cover all our needs.
All best wishes.
