I think that the problem is more that the Phobos maintainers are busy and 
don't necessarily do a good job as a group of reviewing pull requests in 
general, let alone making sure that each and every pull request gets reviewed 
and processed in a reasonable time frame. It's something that we need to work 
on. I think that it's rarely the case that a particular pull request has no 
comments on it because it's undesirable. It just hasn't been looked at yet 
like it should have been yet. If it were truly undesirable, it would at 
minimum have comments saying so if not have been closed.
