Hi everyone, I spent most of the day cleaning up the massive backlog of PRs. Let me give you a summary.
Docs: There is only one DOC PR left! Everything else was merged and is now in trunk. I'll keep watching those. Non-docs: I found a lot of PRs still open when the code was already merged and the JIRA was resolved. For those, I closed the PR with a comment. Several PRs were over 2 years old with no JIRA. I closed those with a comment. I had Claude do a triage to group the rest of the PRs. This is what we have left. ACTIVE — 278 PRs Updated recently or actively being worked. No action needed. This is the biggest bucket. NEEDS-COMMITTER — ~97 PRs This is the most significant finding. Patches with open, viable JIRAs (status: Patch Available, Review In Progress, Needs Committer) that are just sitting there waiting for a committer to pick them up. Spread across all age ranges — some are fresh (0–30 days), others have been waiting 2+ years. MONITOR — ~22 PRs Updated within the last year, JIRA open, but not actively moving. PING-AUTHOR — ~21 PRs JIRA open, PR stale 1–2 years. Need a rebase request comment. CLOSE-NO-TICKET — ~11 PRs No JIRA, 1+ year stale. CLOSE-STALE — ~1 PR #55 — 3,833 days old, last updated 1,486 days ago. The oldest open PR in the repo. A real classic Patrick
