I guess it’s all about discipline.

Committers need to walk-through a list of the pull-request regularly while 
contributors have to remind of a pending pull-request periodically. So both 
parts have to be proactive.

Another approach is to find a volunteer from the community who will keep an eye 
on the contributions and spread them out among committers.

Not sure I like the latter approach and would rather go for the one when both 
the committers and contributors are proactive and disciplined. But guess what, 
if you want to make the contributors proactive then the committers have to be 
an example.
