One problem is github. IMHO github's pull requests are quite ridiculous, 
there is no way to prioritize them.
There are quite a lot of pull requests in there which are doubtful, 
high-risk, or require a lot of time to evaluate. Currently, we don't 
have a way to deal with them.

But, the announce list is not the appropriate place for this discussion.
Please move to the main list if you want to comment further.
