Methodology I have came to at work looks roughly like this:

1) Unsubscribe from all notifications apart from those 
repositories few you must process immediately (in case of 
D-Programming-Language this means "unsubscribe from all")

2) Use GitHub assignments and labels to sort and search through 
pull requests in a systematic manner according to own plan

3) When someone mentions @andralex directly, notificiation will 
still arrive and you can check those at higher priority.
