@Alexey - Pull Requests backlog is going pretty crazy, I agree. That is not because the committers are not working on pull requests, there is simply so many of them. We are looking for new committers (and discussing in the PMC).
Tagging is not going to make this better, I believe. It may make it worse, because it discourages non-tagged community members from picking up a pull request.
