Probably due to compartmentalization. In Gentoo you're often waiting for one maintainer. Or worse, waiting for one "project" consisting of several people none of whom actually care about the package the PR touches. > > > > But also, Github sucks.

But if the bug just points me to Github, it doesn't really change anything. I of course have a comprehensive list of Github complaints in mind 24 hours a day, but they're not especially relevant. What is relevant is that some other developers have their own list, and sometimes you're waiting on one developer who doesn't like to use Github for whatever reason. My personal PR queue is of length zero, so I'm not making excuses, but when you want something done for free it's in your best interest to make it easy for the person who has to do it.
