You shouldn't. It's not your fault if the authors let their PR sleeping during 6 months without maintaining them. If you look at the tail of the queue, 60% of the PR don't even pass anymore.
Unfortunately, authors are often not the problem. We can't expect contributors to keep a PR up to date for months without review. A PR that has become unmergeable can usually still be reviewed. I'd guess that the merge conflicts are trivial most of the time. And if a committer wants to go forward with a PR, they can (and do) just ask the author to update it.
