It might be a good policy to have the submitter (or even 
yourself) close pull requests that aren't ready for merging and 
reopen them once they are ready to be reviewed. This would help 
make the queue more manageable and easier to see what's ready to 
consider and what is not (it's a shame pull requests don't have 
simple tagging/labeling like GitHub's issues).
