Hello guys, I want to ask you why BOINC repo has many pull requests which are finished but not merged for months? This behavior prevent many users to contribute to this project because they think that their work is not interesting to the repo owners. I understand that many of you are overloaded with main job but BOINC application is used by plenty of users. And this project has no evolution during almost a year (last Windows/MacOS release was 17 Dec 2015, last Linux release was 28 Feb 2014). I think that making minor releases with only bug fixes is good. And this can potentially involve new people to fix existing bugs (435 for now, and some of them I'm sure are outdated and need to be reviewed). I want to help you to make this application better and more stable but I can't do this without your help. I have some ideas how we can involve new people and speed-up the development but in this case you should review and merge (or deny) new pull requests faster because when people see the pull requests which are opened almost a year - they just leave the project because nobody want to contribute to nowhere.
I hope you will do something with this. I really want to help you with this because I love this project and want him to grow. Thanks.
