I think it would be great if we defined a simple policy for closing
pull requests that are lingering. -- Andrei
it sits in queue without any comments more than 20 days? reject and
close it.

Bad idea. Take for example this one of mine
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/2793 that sits
there for more than 20 days. I've addressed all concerns and now it's
waiting for someone who feels responsible for std.container to pull it.

Now four things can happen:

1. Someone pulls it. Fine.
2. Someone says, that after consideration this is not suitable for
std.container. Fine.
3. Someone raises more QOI concerns. Fine.
4. Someone says, that the pull is rejected, because it was sitting there
for more than 20 days. It would be my very last pull request. Period.

Thanks for raising attention to this. I didn't know about your pull request. A while ago I found my Inbox flooded by github-related messages so I directed them into a different folder. That has right now 13113 unread messages.

Your work is interesting and necessary. I shall destroy it soon :o).
