I'm very surprised by your outlook. My perception is that the long queue 
of pending pull requests not being reviewed is the single most important 
bottleneck at this point in history in the path of D. By my estimates I 
think we'd improve the speed of D's development by at least one third if 
we solve this one issue. There's no other issue offering so much impact.

I also think it may transform into a major crisis (an inflection point 
in pull requests rate followed by a decline) if we leave this unresolved.

We must find a solution to reviewing pull requests, and fast.
