I echo Donald's comments.  And while this may be something we want to change,
it's good to identify it as a workflow pain point, and perhaps relax the
constraint as we get more experience with it.

Another option is to implement some kind of "rubber stamp" mechanism, either
automated or manual.  So you would still go through the PR workflow, but if
you can't (or don't reasonably expect) to get a review in a timely manner,
then we rubber stamp the PR so that it can land.  We could add a
rubber-stamp-requested tag which could be a good way for PR gardeners to find
those kinds of issues.  We'd have to be careful not to abuse those, so add a
justification to the PR comment and let another core dev at least review the
reasons for the rubber stamp request.  Then a cursory "this at least doesn't
look insane" review and a rubber stamp approval would unstick the process.

Cheers,
-Barry
