How did you come to that number? Total amount of pulls 
*submitted* ? I count 95 *closed* pull requests, but I think only 
about 50% of them ever made it through? I'm not sure how to check 
though (apart from counting 1 by 1...)

I'm unsure I'd be totally comfortable pulling inside phobos, but 
it *is* true that the queue is just getting longer and longer. 
There are some pulls just sitting there, submitted by trusted 
people (with pull rights), that are validated and reviewed, but 
are just waiting for a puller to do the deed. There needs to be a 
few more reviewers, the ones we have are doing a great job, but 
are overworked.

But I wouldn't want to hijack this thread, nor is learn really 
the place to talk about that.
