A few of us are working hard to revive old PRs and either see them across the finish line, or give them a quick path to closure. 2 months ago the DMD PR queue stood at about 190. Now it's hovering between 140 and 150.
DMD also has at least 30 PRs which have had no action from the author in over a year. There's no reason these should be kept open; they just take up auto-tester resources and lower the signal to noise ratio.
If the author comes back later, they can always ask a maintainer to reopen.
