I think that that's the story for a number of us. Several years ago, I was
reviewing and merging more PRs than anyone, but the past couple of years,
I've done relatively little reviewing. I just have a hard time finding time
to spend on this sort of thing. And this year, the time since dconf has been
particularly bad for me. Some of us do need to find a way to spend more time
on this sort of thing, but overall, we simply need more qualified people who
have the time and inclination to review PRs. Too often, the qualified folks
with the time to do it don't continue to have the that kind of time.
