During the time that PRs weren't being addressed by us we also haven't submitted any new features to mainline. In fact, if you check, you'll find that when the features in question were submitted (around February), we also gave a lot of attention to PRs. Having said that, we should and are looking into current PRs; we definitely have a strong interest in seeing them resolved. Ayal.
