The fact that there are so many open PR's is an issue in itself, we either have lots of amazing code that isn't being integrated, or lots on unsuitable requests that should be formally closed down or something in the middle of these two (most likely).
Closing them just hides the fact we don't have a better process - The issue for a lot them are conversations happen which are very productive then they suddenly stop. If these are things we want to have in netbeans then a better process needs to be in place so these great submissions don't get lost. - One assignes a reviewer and then the PR goes silent, again people are busy but there needs to be a process to help speed this along - People seem to be working on issues they want to fix (*yayy*), but this isn't always the best thing for netbeans. But we don't have a way to formally deal with these. So my thoughts on this would be to decide on a more formal PR approach and apply it to this situation Peter On Fri, 17 Aug 2018, 06:10 Mario Schroeder, <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I would not close all.
