Yes, but it could be good to examine what can be done to more 
pro-actively look at open PRs that have had no recent follow-up.  
It's not really going to work that well if attention gets given 
substantially on the basis of who's most eagerly seeking it.

People like that metaphor "It's the squeaky wheel that gets the 
grease", but as a first aid trainer once pointed out to me, the 
quieter patient may be the one more in need of immediate 
attention.

Unfortunately my current one is large with good reason.  But I 
think you'll find I also provided very detailed commit messages 
to explain and justify all my changes ;-)
