There is more to this than just user experience.

If you go to file a bug in a large mature project, for example 
KDE or Firefox, you'll see that their Bugzilla instances have 
myriads of projects, components and subcomponents. There is 
actually an important reason for this: each component can have a 
maintainer, who will be notified and automatically assigned to 
the bug. If a maintainer resigns, his components can be divided 
among others.

I have long thought that we should encourage "ownership" of parts 
of Phobos (and the project as a whole). For example, I'm 
interested in receiving bug reports and reviewing PRs concerning 
std.file and std.process (but not e.g. std.algorithm). Bugzilla 
has the capability of automatically choosing an assignee for the 
respective component, we would just need to configure it.

Getting past contributors involved is one way we can fight lack 
of PR reviews. The new subscription feature of forum.dlang.org is 
another step towards this, but I have a few more things planned 
to bring this idea in full force.
