I'm really happy that we are paying attention to this as a group. People have long and hard to put those patches, and we should try to get them reviewed. Please let me know what the engagement team can do to help. For instance, we could create reports, metrics, or whatever to help track. We could also ping developers in case something hasn't been reviewed in awhile. We can really boost enthusiasm for work on GNOME by doing things just things like this. Thanks for writing this post, Michael. sri
