I didn't mention the obvious that having Github as issues frontend will bring a lot of noise, and current commiters don't necessarly have time to handle this, which i perfectly understand.
Maybe the companies fueling Cordova, and those using it could help by financing someone from our community as Evangelist/Reviewer/CM. There is indeed some important pending PR :) ex: https://github.com/apache/cordova-js/pull/129 https://github.com/apache/cordova-cli/pulls/223 Besides that, the community will definitely handle some of it, as we do for plugins. angular team released a bot to help managing the CLA and do some triaging, may be useful : https://github.com/mary-poppins/mary-poppins i'm not sure react-native is much simpler. much young and they already have a massive +700 open issues and +380 contributors. 930/1400 for angular.js, and +300 pending PR.... Thanks for your input and lets keep cordova rockin'
