as a PSC we have talked about this.
With my business hat on, I can assure you we have not been deaf to your
call. I have thought about how to contribute to solve this, bt I did not
find a practical way to do it. The main point (clearly outlined by
Alessandro Pasotti during our latest PSC) is that very few people are
technically able to review the PRs, and usually only for the part of
code they already know well. I think this explains the lack of response.
To improve the situation I think we should provide an easy way to
contribute, in a way that actually favours those who contribute.
All the best.
