legitimate= consensual, if there is no consensus between phobos 
devs it cannot be pulled anyway. I'd think those are all 
changes/PR that are not tagged with »decision block«. I'd think 
even something like »fix your indentation« is legitimate.
X= 20 days, ask author if he's dead. If he does not respond in 10 
days, close and leave a comment to resubmit the pull request on 
resurrection.
